[00:00] tryed both 32 - 64 [00:00] so. yeah. indicator-applet-appmenu - 100% CPU. looking for cluse online, but don't see anything yet. [00:00] roooot, don't use unity [00:00] clues [00:00] d [00:00] tryed ubuntu classic [00:00] cant you have all those in one install,,,add xfce and plasma or whatever to the normal dist? [00:00] seemed nice [00:00] ZeloZelos: yes [00:00] but now imma try to just install xubuntu [00:00] i know my cpu load was like 0.90 [00:00] ZeloZelos, you are correct - doesn't matter what you start with, you can install whatever you want [00:00] on ubuntu [00:01] under 1 means nothing hanged [00:01] nemo: What version of ubuntu? [00:01] Natty [00:01] roooot, load less then 1 means your CPU wasn't even maxed... just saying. [00:01] soreau: it's my mom's machine. she was complaining of horrible performance [00:01] anything under 1 means it was processed with no wait for cpu usage [00:01] aeon-ltd, zykotick9 will they play nicely together? well not "together" but can exist along each other w no issues? === nyx is now known as Guest55418 [00:01] so is cpu usage 5% good? [00:02] im guessing [00:02] ZeloZelos, sure just choose which you want to boot into using GDM/KDM/etc. [00:02] nemo: Using unity? [00:02] ZeloZelos: yes because you don't use 2 at the same time, for DEs you only use one session at a time === Guest55418 is now known as username [00:02] soreau: I noticed a lot of oom kills, but couldn't find a reason. could be related to the fact that every time that applet is started it goes to 100% [00:02] soreau: no. gnome classic. she is not at all a fan of Unity [00:02] finds it horribly confusing [00:02] roooot, cpu % is NOT the same as load [00:02] nemo: (is is) [00:02] nemo: (it is) [00:02] whats the cmd for load again sudo top? [00:02] roooot: uptime or top [00:02] roooot, just "top" no sudo required [00:02] soreau: hm. it just froze up on her again [00:03] nemo: Doesn't seem to pose an immediate problem here on natty+classic gnome [00:03] nemo: Does it make a difference what wm is running? [00:03] nemo: (I'm using compiz master here) [00:03] soreau: she's using classic + compiz. don't know if window manager is a factor yet [00:03] nemo, my desktop is not a netbook :-P [00:03] I'm trying to do this remotely, which is rather difficult [00:04] smw: huh? [00:04] nemo, die unity die [00:04] oh... [00:04] soreau: I'm asking her to log into her 2nd account to see if it has the same behaviour === jsjgruber is now known as Guest52982 [00:04] says [00:04] load average is [00:04] 0.00 [00:04] :o [00:04] nemo: Does it work fine at startup and then use more resources as time goes on? [00:04] roooot: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:04] smw, honestly - if you don't want Unity you should seek out another distro... just saying. [00:04] roooot: the others? [00:05] soreau: in terms of memory usage, I haven't tracked down the leak yet. but indicator-applet-appmenu will start out at 0% but climb very rapidly to 100% of CPU [00:05] zykotick9, I plan to do that. I have been using ubuntu for years and I have been recently playing with other distros. [00:05] nemo: Is it nvidia? [00:05] now its between like 0.06 but its the first 1 is 0.05. 0/09, 0.23 [00:05] soreau: I suspect the freezes she is experiencing are the laptop overheating [00:05] zykotick9, debian wheezy and pcbsd are at the top of the list [00:05] someone else was in here complaining about unity..its nice for what it is and what it does [00:05] zykotick9, perhaps back to arch [00:06] nemo: What graphics card is it? [00:06] now its like 0.02, 0.07, 0.21 aeon [00:06] good i guess? [00:06] soreau: I'm still waiting for her machine to reboot [00:06] soreau: then she has to setup an ssh tunnel for me :) [00:06] nemo: You don't know what graphics card she has? [00:07] soreau: I could tell you more precisely once I'm connected back to it. she is 5000 km away [00:07] roooot: yes [00:07] soreau: ok. indicator-applet-appmenu appears to only go wild in her account. not her boyriend's [00:08] soreau: wondering if I should just blow away her entire gnome profile [00:08] nemo: Tell her to get a new bf. Problem solved. [00:08] soreau: um. his account is fine :-p [00:08] nemo: But then she could just take over her bf's working account and get rid of him in the process. Kill two birds with one stone === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [00:09] h2ph * asn-generic/* ... destination diretory /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 doesn't exist or isnt' a directory [00:09] ok is anyone familiar with cron enough to help me set upa an hourly script? [00:09] nemo: (I'm just trolling you until you tell me What Graphics Card The Machine Has...!) [00:09] it only has python inside /usr/local/lib [00:10] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200] [00:10] nemo: I find it hard to believe you don't know if it's intel, radeon or nvidia off the top of your head [00:10] ... [00:10] I don't [00:10] but I just pasted it [00:10] k [00:10] and it is running fglrx [00:10] nemo: Using fglrx or radeon driver? [00:10] k [00:10] as noted, indicator-applet-appmenu only seems to run wild on her side [00:10] I am really considering wiping all her gnome settings [00:11] nemo: Get rid of fglrx first and foremost. (possibly after confirming metacity doesn't exhibit the issue) [00:11] soreau: I tried attaching ltrace -S but it wasn't too informative [00:11] nemo: You're not listening [00:11] soreau: why would compiz have anything to do w/ indicator-applet-appmenu ? [00:11] nemo: Why would you ask for support here if you know better? [00:11] * soreau finds something more productive to do [00:11] and for that matter, why would symptoms be different on two otherwise identical desktops [00:12] soreau: I'm just looking for justification before doing something drastic [00:12] nemo: Uninstalling fglrx is certainly not drastic on natty unless someone installed it from the AMD website [00:13] ok is anyone familiar with (ana)cron enough to help me figure out how to set up an hourly script? [00:13] ok. 2 identical desktops. both using fglrx. both using compiz. one has an applet that is sucking up 100% of CPU, the other doens't, and your recommendation is "get rid of 3D acceleration" [00:13] ok... [00:13] nemo: I suggest 1) Try metacity and see how that fares 2) If it's ok, remove fglrx and use the radeon driver 3) If that's going well, try installing xorg-edgers and/or a newer kernel since this will provide better/latest radeon driver bits [00:13] kisuke: just ask what you are trying to do [00:14] nemo: If 1) has no effect, and another user is fine, create a new user and delete the problematic one [00:14] SIFTU: play acouple of rounds of kmem russian roulette on an hourly basis [00:15] SIFTU: got the script set, just setting up the cron job is whats stymingh me. [00:15] soreau: I wonder if it is related to: [00:15] Unable to register the object to DBus: An object is already exported for the interface com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar at /com/canonical/AppMenu/Registrar [00:15] nemo: And FYI, I never said "get rid of 3D acceleration", I said get rid of fglrx. The open radeon driver handles acceleration fine [00:15] in the log. [00:15] nemo: That looks like a typical dbus warning if I were to guess [00:15] * nemo checks the log on other account [00:15] kisuke: sigh ok.. sudo crontab -e (as you probably need root to overwrite memory like that) [00:16] [peq [00:16] kisuke: 0 * * * * /full/path/to/script [00:16] fuck yea [00:16] nemo: Many times, proprietary drivers can cause memory leaks in unlikely places [00:16] soreau: actually, no log on the functioning account. only the broken one [00:16] Джигурда) [00:16] холи щеет [00:16] !ru | user7 [00:16] user7: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [00:16] nemo: Well I think you should just figure this out on your own since you obviously know better [00:16] SIFTU: to get to kmem yeah. and thank you. when my PC repair rteacher said make me an odd problem, i dont think trhis is what he had in mind [00:17] kisuke: good luck with your now unstable computer :) [00:17] SIFTU: thats the idea, again thanks for the help, [00:19] soreau: it seems like a rather tenuous thread you are hanging this on is all... I'm open to trying the radeon driver. behaviour may have improved [00:19] I just don't see how one proprietary driver could cause *one* app in *one* profile to screw up. [00:19] nemo: Have you even tried 1) yet? [00:20] you have any idea how hard it is to explain stuff to your mom when she's 5000 km away? [00:20] just hang on. but no. [00:20] nemo: No, I don't know your mom. But after that, try !resetpanel [00:21] nemo: I figured you'd already tried all the basics [00:21] nemo: I support my mums PC 15000kms away.. wouldnt make any difference if it was 1 km away [00:22] SIFTU: I was thinking 1ft [00:22] what app is causing problems on different accounts ? [00:22] soreau: well that would be easy.. move over mom [00:22] OerHeks: That's a generic question [00:23] SIFTU: Yea but if you had to guide her [00:23] soreau: true [00:23] last message in the log before kernel crash was CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns [00:24] hi I have finally kicked microsoft off my pc and have 25 minits left on my transfer of all my backup files from my storage drive which is NTFS and want to make this storage drive into a linux native storage due to permissions problems and slow transfer rates so can some one suggest what kind of format to use. it will also be a shared on a network too a windows pc [00:24] s/kernel crash/system lockup/ I don't actually know if it was a kernel crash, although she says magic sysrq did not work [00:24] nemo: google+ now has screensharing in the hangout too === Usuario|904 is now known as sud0 [00:24] jeremy77: just use ext4 which is pretty much default now [00:25] jeremy77: If you use ftp or web, then file-system do not matter. [00:26] will a windows pc on my home network be able to read the drive if ext4 ? thanks [00:27] jeremy77: uhm? windows do not support ext4 too well, how do you want to share files? [00:27] jeremy77: no natively, you might be able to get a driver for it.. but you can share it via samba as a windows network share [00:27] whats up guys? i'm having a problem with my Windows 7 x64 guest on Ubuntu 11.04 and i wanted to see if any of you can give me some insight, i'm stumped [00:28] d1miguel, #vbox if you're using virtualbox [00:28] okay ty! [00:28] soreau: FWIW, panel reset was a good suggestion. indicator-applet-appmenu cpu usage seems to be completely resolved [00:29] nemo: cool [00:29] soreau: my mom had enjoyed customising her side. had done quite a lot to the panels, although why that would muck it up... I hae no clue [00:29] SIFTU, I will share it via samba as windows network share cause I think it will be easiest and was not sure if windows would be confused that it is ext4 [00:29] she had it sliding in and out, had replaced the wider 3 part menu with the small button, removed the bottom panel, etc... all in interest of saving space. perhaps she removed something that caused it to freak out [00:29] jeremy77: windows wont see the underlying filesystem at all.. it could be anything.. samba handles all that [00:29] the world may never know [00:31] SIFTU, that is perfect. thanks for the info [00:31] what is wish [00:31] hi i have a quick networking issue, linux noob here [00:31] !ubottu wish [00:32] ! wish [00:32] whats ubuntu general chat? [00:32] ugh.. [00:32] aenima6: ask away [00:32] d1miguel: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:32] does anyone know how to backup your whole system to a external hard drive with command line? [00:32] could someone tell me about this program Wish?! -its using 30% of my Cpu [00:32] tiago_, its in the guide.. [00:33] tiago_: http://www.backuphowto.info/linux-backup-hard-disk-clone-dd [00:33] thanks !! [00:33] thanks, its xbmc live related, hope thats ok, but i dont think its specific to that. anyways when i use wired connection, my internet and smb network work fine, go to wireless, and my smb network works, but no internet working in xbmc [00:34] so i added a 10 second delay to xbmc startup, then i get internet connection, but i cant connect to my smb [00:35] good old xbmc. Hey aenima6 i was looking into it. Can i host videos and watch them off my wii or soething? Or does the display have to be attached to the computer [00:35] \quit [00:35] soreau: quick question. she was wondering why she doesn't see network management under her account. can nm-applet only be active on one side at a time? [00:36] subcool im running it off a htpc [00:37] how would i uninstall something that was installed via this command - sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i mmc_1.7.0_i386.deb [00:38] hm. googling, I find bugs on that subject [00:38] i tried sudo dpkg -r mmc_1.7.0_i386.deb, but all it does is bring up the software center saying it can't install it because of wrong architecture [00:39] aenima6, whats an htpc? [00:39] subcool, home theater pc [00:40] Phr3d13, what about apt-get remove blah.deb? - lol i know urs is ... more knowledgeable though [00:40] nemo: I'm not sure how NetworkManager/nm-applet works for multiple accounts. Make sure both are running though, and you have notification area and/or indicator applet added to the panel [00:40] aenima6,whats the diference? [00:40] (I forget in which nm-applet displays) [00:40] aenima6, didnt really answer my question at all now that i think about it.. [00:40] didn't use apt-get to get it [00:40] do you guys support oneiric users? [00:41] subcool, im running a small linux build just to watch my networked media on my bedroom tv [00:41] Phr3d13, idk- [00:41] !oneric [00:41] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:41] subcool, i dont think would help a wii [00:41] is there any disadvantage to creating an image of the filesystem and saving it, instead of just backing up everything? and how much time would a fs of 500G take to create? [00:41] do you guys support oneiric users? [00:41] soreau: tried running nm-applet from 2nd account and it complained that it was already running [00:41] rectec794613: No, thats what #ubuntu+1 is for. [00:41] !oneric | rectec794613 [00:41] rectec794613: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:41] tiago_: a long time.. no disadvantage in creating an image.. actually there are advantages are you can compress it [00:42] soreau: there seem to be a few bugs on the subject, and some workarounds involving kills - I suggested mom just put up with it for now [00:42] aenima6, thers the answer. kinda- SO.. the media is hosted off ur htpc, - i guess my questions is, can you watch ur media via ethernet? [00:42] hi all [00:42] Pici: k thanks [00:42] SIFTU: what order of compression? [00:42] aenima6, iphone- android... [00:42] tiago_: depends on your data [00:42] sorry for OT, but does someone have Samsung SGH-E250 or similar phone? I need some help... [00:42] nemo: FWIW, I chmod -x both and just use scripts to handle my networking setups [00:42] ok thanks !

I can ping the outside internet. I can see my SMB media share, but i cant touch the internet within XBMC [00:50] aenima6: then it's not a OS problem [00:51] SIFTU, yes Im realizing this now. [00:51] aenima6, what? idk about that [00:51] wireless alone will not block specific ports [00:51] check a firewall or something [00:51] SMB sucks [00:51] SERIOUSLY SUCKS [00:51] subcool: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:52] <|GoLTaR|> im trying to make update to ubuntu and i got the same error :/ [00:52] hi, i am new to ubuntu 10.04 looking for opinions on unity [00:52] i hate you flood- statement stands. OS PROBLEM [00:52] wireless hardware CAN NOT limit connectivity to SPECIFIC ports [00:52] unless FIREWALLED [00:52] bekor - Try it out and decide for yourself if you like it :) [00:52] subcool, SIFTU, the thing is, if i add a 10 second delay before XBMC runs, then it sees the internet, but wont see my SMB. [00:52] OS PROBLEM!!!!! [00:53] bekor - many people like it, many people prefer something else. You always have the choice with linux [00:53] aenima6, is the pc a POS? [00:53] subcool, no its a intel atom/nvidia ION [00:53] have you been using it yourself? [00:54] bekor - I used it for quite a while on 11.04, I am currently using AwesomeWM because I've always wanted to try it. I do still use Unity for regular usage / school though [00:54] aenima6, ya.. id count that as a pOS [00:55] aenima6, and Atom processor wont be able to handle that kinda work [00:55] subcool, well its the size of a dvd case, and it does everything it needs to do. just this lame wireless isue [00:55] i cant get it to work on a 64bit celeron [00:55] subcool, it handles 1080 files no problem [00:55] awsomewm? i will have to look into that will it work on computers with 512mb RAM? [00:55] aenima6, its not like that [00:55] think of it like this [00:56] running a super computer off of a 30$router [00:56] "technically" can work.. WIll it!? - uh [00:56] i bet if u try the same setup on something not netbook- it will work [00:56] subcool, well its not a streaming issue, bc i cant even reach my network [00:56] it works on my jolicloud netbook actually [00:56] OS- something is blocking u [00:56] firewall? [00:57] subcool: it uses the GPU for video rendering.. it's plenty powerful enough [00:57] SIFTU, no- i get that, im not talkinb about video render [00:57] bekor - for low ram set-ups, I would suggest install Xubuntu or Lubuntu instead of Ubuntu. They use different desktop environments that work much better in low ram systems. They are both very conventional setups and you should have no problems getting used to them. However, if you research awesome or another window manager and want to try them, they are very good for such systems as well. They just take a lot more work to get used to. [00:57] SIFTU, im talkiing about file render. [00:57] Woops, typed that up for nothing [00:58] subcool: file render.. righto [00:58] aenima6, what doesnt make sense to me- is if u put a stall on the XBMC to start, that shouldnt kill smb, unless something else was also put on hold... [00:58] SIFTU, u get the idea.. [00:58] smb works just fine if XBMC isnt initaited? [00:59] subcool, yeah, thats why im confused, and why i came here bc i dont understand how linux OS works [00:59] aenima6: did you see my PM [00:59] subcool, smb works with xbmc initialized [00:59] butu dont have interenet [00:59] is there any alternative to MythTV for DVR on Ubuntu? [00:59] just not when i delay the issue so that internet works within xbmc [00:59] SIFTU no i didnt, ill look [01:00] aenima6, maybe xbmc is hosing ur internet due to the lag.. [01:00] xbmc hoses my computer- [01:00] but i can still ping out in the terminal [01:00] thats what iw as working on now- but im working on netowrking issues first [01:01] subcool, I find xbmc runs fine on my computer [01:01] ya, xbmc is hosing u [01:01] swm, ya, i was aksing about wish- it was cloggin my cpu. i just figured it out- imma try now once i dl something [01:01] !kworker [01:02] aenima6, what happens if u put a 30sec delay [01:02] or a minute? [01:02] lets the computer startup and settle before loading xbmc [01:02] havent tried, but i guess i could, thanks for the diea [01:02] shawnboy, MythTV is the best option. Not sure if there are others. [01:02] idea === }Relic{ is now known as [Relic] [01:03] shawnboy, what is wrong with mythtv? [01:04] shawnboy, (also, xbmc is best for media already recorded) [01:05] shawnboy: see also http://alternativeto.net/software/mythtv. There's no clear winner (IMO)... [01:06] subcool, ok i have no idea why, but didnt even make the change or reboot or anytyhign, just went back to xbmc and tried again and it works, its streaming from my network and i can see inet [01:06] smw, well, i setup the backend and mythtv seems to work well on that machine both back and front ends. [01:07] but running frontend on my laptop... frontend freezes, loops (restarts, then freezes again) , things like that. [01:07] I started with 0.23, upgraded all to 0.24.1 and no improvements. [01:07] shawnboy, perhaps xbmc? I think it can connect to recorded mythtv [01:07] shawnboy, not sure. [01:07] it's a lot of grief, but so many people use it, I figure this can't be the norm. [01:08] shawnboy, I auto download my media and stream to xbmc frontends throughout the house [01:08] hey how do I set up irc through the default ubuntu client? [01:09] Sumpter, what is the default ubuntu client? [01:09] empathy I think [01:09] Sumpter, I did not know there was one... I use xchat [01:09] i just got an HDhomerun tuner and want to record, pause, etc live tv. [01:09] yeah [01:09] Sumpter, empathy is not an irc program [01:09] its right up there in the top corner [01:09] oh okay well theres something [01:09] i already use torrents, but not all the tv shows i like are available. [01:09] Sumpter, also, im clients are not good irc clients [01:09] I'm an idiot.. I deleted my /etc/passwd file, and now ubuntu will not boot. I used a slackware cd I had floating around to boot, mounted the drive, and there are no back ups, can I manually create a file, or is there a "temp" I can use to allow me to boot? [01:09] because it asks me to set up irc chats, but i cant log in [01:09] shawnboy, that is odd :-P [01:09] so I want to use my new hdhomerun to record live TV [01:10] aenima6, awesome!! gotta love how that happens.. [01:10] broadcast. [01:10] because it asks me to set up irc chats, but i cant log in [01:10] aenima6, glad i couldnt help :) [01:10] sorry about the double post my bad [01:10] haha thanks. yeah i wish i had some idea what it is. bc im sure next time i boot up it wont work [01:10] also how can I set up a linux distro on a usb drive while in ubuntu [01:11] shawnboy, what can't you find on torrents? I am very curious. I have gotten the idea that everything except some news shows are not uploaded :-P [01:11] I also deleted /etc/shadow and /etc/g**** [01:11] shawnboy, (I am in no way condoning piracy ;-) ) [01:11] for example my wife and I like cooking shows on PBS. Not to big on those on the torrent sites. [01:12] Fail_BOt, what is wrong with you? lol [01:12] Fail_BOt, I suggest I reinstall... [01:12] Fail_BOt, is there a reason you deleted every file that contains user info? [01:12] aenima6, see im working on the same thing now, and having issues with smb myself. ugh.. what a b* [01:12] I'm building an LFS, and was trying to create users but couldn't lock the pwd file [01:12] so anyone? [01:12] The internets told me too [01:12] whats the name of the torrent client that comes with ubuntu? [01:12] how can I use the default client to set up irc [01:12] explodes, transmission [01:13] explodes:transmission [01:13] So I can't just "fake" a file to boot? [01:13] how can I tell the size or a folders contents or a file from bash? [01:13] Fail_BOt, you could take one from a correctly installed system. [01:14] Fail_BOt, you would need to make sure you could login to root. [01:14] i have installed ubuntu 11.04 from usv but when i boot from hd i get "running /scripts/init-bottom Done .." [01:14] and it just hangs [01:14] Fail_BOt, but why would you? God knows what could go wrong [01:14] !undelete | Fail_BOt: you can try UNdelete it from live CD ~ [01:14] Fail_BOt: you can try UNdelete it from live CD ~: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [01:14] If I had a live cd I would just reinstall.....

[01:40] @beatbreaker what is Arch? [01:40] shawnboy: does apt-get purge suit your needs?

Thing is, it's doing that thing where in ADDITIONAL DRIVERS it shows broadcom, but the paradox is, I need INTERNET ACCESS TO ACTIVATE THE DRIVER. How do I do this manually ? [02:37] rooot: you can write to the /etc/rc.local [02:37] apporc, because if anyone has any experience in hda analyzer they all know that all the settings will vanish after restart [02:38] apporc, i can put the .diff file in their? [02:38] rooot: you can look that file ,you edit it and write some commands there for the os to run upon startup [02:39] yeh but the .diff file has alot of stuff in it lol.. do u need to put any option lines or anything like that in their? [02:39] rooot:at your case ,maybe you can edit a "patch"command for the .diff file [02:40] Know any Patch commands? [02:40] Hey all, I have a rather specific question. I'm looking for someone with a laptop with an intel hd 3000. I'm trying to scope out which laptop to buy as a full-time ubuntu machine, but my wife demands I keep playing Minecraft with her. [02:41] !patch [02:41] Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [02:41] I'm trying to find out if I can get away with integrated graphics, or if I have to find something with discrete graphics. I figured the easiest way would be to ask in here. [02:41] hey, anyone know when Firefox 7 hits the repos? [02:42] rooot:I though , it is one configuration file that will change every time you restart , isn't it? then how about the .diff file .It is diff original-configuration present-configuration? [02:43] Maybe I should ask in #minecraft as well.. [02:43] !fx7 [02:43] kat if you use lucid or maverick use the ppa [02:43] apporc, yes everytime u restart the settings go back to normal but i do believe the .diff file stays the same [02:43] if you use natty wait [02:43] !fx6 [02:43] Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04.

[02:43] rooot: where does the .diff come from in you case? [02:43] apporc, its saved to ur file system.. so im wondering if i move it and find a way to make it load on its own and dont use hda analyzer anymore if it will be good [02:43] or download it from firefox.com kat [02:44] apporc, when u edit hda analyzer.. it saves a file.. called hda-analyzer.diff which are the settings u applied [02:44] rooot:where is this file located? [02:45] apporc, i do believe in /tmp/ [02:45] rooot: you found it in /tmp ? [02:45] apporc, it generated in there.. "saved" [02:46] hello [02:46] apporc, when u open the file the first line is Diff for codec 0/0 (0x10ec0888): [02:47] apporc, and then load of stuff after [02:48] rooot: seconds.

In Gentoo, I could select a specific package version to install by emerging package=version. Is there a way to specify which version of a package I want to install in Ubuntu? Specifically, packages.ubuntu.com lists the latest GCC as 4.5 for Natty, but 4.6 for Oneiric. I'd want to have 4.6 on Natty. [03:05] !latest | _Ray_ [03:05] _Ray_: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

[03:15] I basically tried all the combinations :( I had the same problem a ayear ago and gave up back then, but using direct ssh from gnome-terminal sucks. [03:17] does anyone know what the difference is between "I' and "i A" when aptitude is used to display a list of installed packages? [03:17] oops, I mean the difference between "i" and "i A" [03:18] I have done a local install (since I am not administrator) of git and would like to bind the command "git" to the actual git program file ~/installs/bin/git. How do I do this? I guess it should be done in .bashrc but I don't know how [03:18] hydromet: I believe that means the package was automatically installed [03:18] After the update, pulseaudio won't start. Sound works from media players, no panel volume control. Complete details at http://pastebin.com/LFxWJW7d [03:18] thanks crass: [03:20] Any ideas why this doesn't redirect connection from port 80 to 9001?

[04:16] dr_willis, I'm having freeze issues with MythTV. In that irc channel, I was told to get latest release. I have latest release. The he said it's probably pulseaudio issue and that there are better alternatives to pulseaudio anyway. [04:17] dr_willis, I know that's controversial, but if there is another audio daemon I could try, I'd be interested if it solved the mythtv freezess. [04:17] shawnboy, i've run myth for years, and honestly it's never been 100% stable (probably why it will never be a debian package). Good luck though! Myth Rocks! [04:17] shawnboy, mythtv has an alsa output module? try that [04:18] Seven_Six_Two: that explains it, thanks [04:18] zykotick9, I'm sure it would rock if it didn't freeze when I tried to exit watching TV. [04:19] shawnboy, if it's a constant issue/problem then that really sucks man. hope you find a fix! [04:19] Seven_Six_Two, any helpful push as to how I try the alsa module for myth? [04:19] zykotick9, yes, every time I exit TV it hangs. [04:20] hello world [04:20] shawnboy, well, you could uninstall all of the pulse stuff, and install the alsa stuff. As for myth, I don't know how to do it, but there's likely documentation about enabling it. Some programs have either different versions, or separate modules for input and output. [04:21] shawnboy, try changing your video and audio outputs first, see if those make a difference - i'd start with video if i where you.

[05:00] widewake, no no, /usr/ is a directory. don't change that [05:01] Seven_Six_Two, k tried that too [05:01] widewake, only change to whatever the filename is that you downloaded [05:02] widewake, there is a space before /usr [05:02] Seven_Six_Two, bash: cd: /usr/java: Not a directory ----> sudo cp ~/Downloads/jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin /usr/java && cd /usr/java && sudo ./jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin [05:02] xenland: depends on the PHP script. If there's no SMTP server on the localhost, the script has to be able to talk SMTP to a remote host. [05:02] widewake, can you do ls -l /usr | grep java [05:02] ugh. ubuntu has a zombie fetish. getting sick of rebooting in order to kill processes. [05:02] Seven_Six_Two, k done [05:03] fuck [05:03] So basically PHP can only send using the domain name if the DNS servers were pointed to that box that contained the PHP script? [05:03] hm?

New install, how do I get the old passwords into ubuntu? [05:04] xenland: http://phpmailer.worxware.com/ [05:05] widewake, haha..ok sudo rm /usr/java && mkdir /usr/java [05:05] tapout: not all sure but u could try to copy the old settings from your chromium to the new install of ubuntu theyr at ~/.config/chromium/Default [05:05] widewake, get a sudo in there for the mkdir [05:05] Seven_Six_Two, removed the space before user got this. cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/samet/Downloads/jre-6u27-linux-i586.bin/usr/java' [05:05] [05:05] Seven_Six_Two, proceed with sudo? [05:06] widewake, no, there is supposed to be a space before /usr. yeah, delete the file that's there with the first command, then make a directory with the same name, in the same place [05:07] Chheapshot, some time ago, they moved it all to the seahorse password management.. the Login Data sqlite file is empty [05:07] Seven_Six_Two, permission deniieeed [05:07] Seven_Six_Two, ouch [05:07] what command was denied?

[05:07] widewake, sudo mkdir /usr/java [05:08] Seven_Six_Two, kk [05:08] then copy the file there [05:08] Seven_Six_Two, roger, engines are on go [05:08] with sudo [05:09] tapout: well if its possible u to log in to the old ubuntu u could always just use the chromes Building password sync. Just enable it from the settings and then login in the chromium in the new install of ubuntu and it should sync all the settings and passwords. [05:09] build in * [05:09] woah [05:09] Seven_Six_Two, hows that? [05:10] where am i?

Well then, you'll have to turn that off! [05:17] Seven_Six_Two: or change the default. Strangely, there is no selection possible in the login screen, I just tried… [05:17] madduck, if it's any consolation, they also switched the unhappy 10.10 users [05:18] so I have to "fix it" in login manager [05:18] Seven_Six_Two: hehe [05:18] rabbi1: do you have an iso image of windows on your HDD ?

I can start conky whenever, and it works fine, right on top of my desktop. my issue is getting it to run and display when I'm logging in. there are tutorials online that say to put "sleep 10 && conky" in your login items, or in a shell script that's in your login items, but it doesn't work.

[06:53] assumption... [06:53] popey: you are correct, but I've asked 10 times for stuff and it comes back different each time, so I can only assume it's a copy and paste error [06:54] ikonia: well, indeed, downloads would be Downloads, so its not a copy/paste [06:54] sudo cp /path/to/foo /path/to/bar [06:54] is there any reason why "sleep 10 && conky" would work after logging in, and "conky" would work as a startup item, but "sleep 10 && conky" won't work as a startup item? [06:54] What's the correct path then? [06:54] popey: sorry, I meant "re-typing" as it's obvious he's re-typing rather than actually copy and paste [06:54] thanks popey, another quick question [06:54] Glitchy_: paths begin eith / the way i showed nirmally [06:54] I having trouble making a bootable thumbdrive... all the usb pendrive pages produce nothing... anyone know a sure fire method? [06:55] thenickperson: I'm not suggesting you keep that sleep time at 30, just run it as a test [06:55] thenickperson: doesn't conkyhave to be started in the background: sleep 10 && conky & ? [06:55] dr can I just message you ikonia is being a dick [06:55] Glitchy_: drop the language and attitude, that is uncalled for [06:55] Glitchy_: you need to cut and paste the exact command line you are using [06:55] dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc/image.img if sda is a harddrive in the machine and sdc is a USB harddrive correct? [06:56] your the one with attitude dude, i did nothing to you, i accidentally messaged you and you have done nothing but not help me [06:56] and i showed.an examply of how to use sudo cp [06:56] pete_: no [06:56] pete_: NO [06:56] pete_: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc [06:56] pete_: [06:56] I'm going to try "sleep 30 && conky" as a startup item. thanks, brb [06:56] ooh, sorry popey didn't realise you where helping. [06:56] pete_: what do you want to achieve [06:56] pete_: do you want to make an image? [06:56] i want to backup one harddrive onto another as an image [06:56] pete_: if so you need to mount sdc up somewhere [06:57] Glitchy_: I've asked you for information specfically 10 times, I'm trying to help you as is dr_willis [06:57] pete_: if its a usb stick/drive its probably already mounted under /media somwhere [06:57] Glitchy_: we need the exact info you are using to give you help. [06:57] I have a USB key in there, I've booted Ubuntu, I have the internal HDD I want to backup onto a second USB drive attached [06:57] Glitchy_: paste it to the channel. i may have to leave at any time [06:57] what I said was almost exact [06:57] pete_: so something like dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/diskname/image.img [06:57] Glitchy_: "almost exact" is not exact, we need EXACT [06:57] I no longer have the terminal open [06:58] ok, how do I find /media name of drive? [06:58] I can't give you exact [06:58] open your terminal and press the up arrow until you see that command [06:58] pete_: type "mount", it will tell you where it's mounted [06:58] open new term. use history command to see Glitchy_ [06:58] pete_: look for your usb drive in the output [06:58] Glitchy_: then where exactly do you want to move files from and to [06:58] I can't give you exacts, it doesn't show [06:58] Glitchy_: then where exactly do you want to move files from and to [06:59] from my download folder to etc/openvpn [06:59] :) [06:59] also, about my problem, "sleep 30 && conky" still isn't working. :| the delay is in seconds by default, yes? it's odd, it works fine when I use terminal AFTER I've logged in, even with sleep before it. [06:59] Glitchy_: what is the name of the file you want to move [06:59] thenickperson: correct [06:59] how to restore the graphical setting in command mode [06:59] should sda be mounted? [06:59] I'm thinking it's a weird priority issue between nautilus and conky [06:59] rwebb, I have to crash but the script posted is helpful, you can also post the problem at the Ubuntu forums, past the script there as well if that is your choice. [06:59] thenickperson: so it sounds as if it's the actual startup that's not getting executed. [06:59] pete_: if thats your boot drive, yes [06:59] thenickperson: change the conky command to something simple like "touch /var/tmp/testfile" [06:59] pete_: I wouldn't be doing a dd of my boot drive though [07:00] thenickperson: see if /var/tmp/testfile gets created at login, then you know the script is being executed [07:00] how to restore the graphical setting in command mode [07:00] pete_: personally I'd use clonezilla to do what you're trying to achieve [07:00] pete_: you make a clonezilla stick/cd and boot from it, it has a nice menu for doing this kind of thing [07:00] openvpn-US.config [07:00] what do you mean you wouldn't dd your boot drive? [07:00] urlin2u- Thanks for the help, already posted a question to Ubuntu Help [07:00] pete_: correct [07:01] Glitchy_: so "sudo cp ~/Downloads/openvpn-US.config /etc/openvpn" [07:01] I don't see conky in my processes. and hm, that test file is an awesome idea, thanks, I'll try it. [07:01] can I use mv instead? [07:01] Glitchy_: use cp first [07:01] Anyone know a sure fire method towards making a bootable usb? [07:01] popey, why not? [07:01] Glitchy_: use copy incase it goes wrong [07:01] how to keep maximized window controls always shown in the global menu? [07:01] fidyduce: unetbootin is pretty reliable for me [07:01] pete_: because the disk is mounted and will change whilst you're copying it [07:01] how to restore the graphical setting in command mode [07:02] pete_: thus rendering the image inconsistent [07:02] fidyduce: what kind of usb are u trying to make? [07:02] "cp: cannot stat `/home/silence/Downloads/openvpn-US.config': No such file or directory [07:02] " [07:02] popey, no, I have booted into a USB key, I am dd'ing the internal hard drive [07:02] I know it's there [07:02] it is bootable. [07:02] Glitchy_: so the file is not called openvpn-US.config then [07:02] I can clearly see [07:02] Popey> thanks man... [07:02] Glitchy_: you spelt somthing wrong [07:02] pete_: ah, okay. cool then [07:02] Glitchy_: ls -la /home/silence/Downloads/openvpn-US.config [07:03] ok, it now looks like [07:03] Glitchy_: case is impornrant [07:03] ls being list...what is -la? [07:03] Glitchy_: it's just options that show more detail [07:03] bbl off to work. [07:03] so casing on words does matter? [07:03] Glitchy_: yes [07:03] I tried "touch ~/Desktop/test.txt" as a startup item, and it didn't work. I paste it into terminal after logging in, and it works. seems like commands don't want to run when I log in? [07:03] pete_: I have to go, sorry [07:03] i just said it did. [07:03] dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/f78998jhf...9b/image.img where the ... is a bunch of letters and numbers, correct? [07:03] that would explain it.. [07:04] Glitchy_: this is why we keep asking you for exact information [07:04] Glitchy_: try using tab to fill the rest of the file name [07:04] cheers for your help popey [07:04] can any one help me ?how to restore the graphical setting in command mode [07:04] pete_: np [07:04] thenickperson: ok, so now we know the issue, it's not your script or conky, it's that startup items aren't happening [07:04] CAse mAttERs [07:04] ;) bbl [07:04] the silence was capatilized...had no idea it was til now [07:04] Oxi: what ubuntu you have? [07:04] popey, just befor eyou go can you scan that line for me. it is right now? [07:05] !unity [07:05] Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. [07:05] ikonia: that's odd, because I added "pidgin" myself as a startup item, and it works fine. :| [07:05] the silence was capatilized...had no idea it was til now [07:05] Oxi: command mode you are referring cli = command line interface? well you can search gdm or lightmd and restart that service [07:06] whoops posted that twice...is there a way to search for a file on this like windows? [07:06] ikonia, is this correct: dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/f78998jhf...9b/image.img where the ... is a bunch of letters and numbers, correct? [07:06] ok [07:07] ikonia: what should I try now? [07:07] pete_: looks good [07:08] thanks, popey, had to pop a sudo in there... but seems to be working cheers [07:08] Oxi: sudo service gdm restart [07:08] ikonia: could this be an issue with permissions? [07:08] this? [07:08] Oxi: im not now front of linux so i cant test it but it should work [07:09] thenickperson: I don't think so (although possible) [07:09] Oxi: other way is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:09] thenickperson: using startup option, are you putting the commands in direct or using a script ? [07:09] Oxi: you are using gnome right? [07:10] Oxi: or kde? [07:10] ikonia: directly. however, I did use shell scripts as well (I put the bash thing on the first line, and they had the right permissions) and that still didn't work. [07:10] thenickperson: could you show me "ls -la" on that script please. [07:11] ikonia: I don't have a script right now, should I write/copy one for conky [07:11] thenickperson: the reason I'm asking this is if you get a script working that works fine and tested, and then ask startup to call it, if it doesn't work, you know it's not being called, rather than being called and not working [07:12] thenickperson: just narrowing it down [07:12] how can i get shokwave flash plugin?

[07:22] hi is there any system wide equalizer for ubuntu otherthan pulseaudio [07:22] thats the intel wireless n 1000 [07:22] sound quality is not good for pulseaudio [07:23] thenickperson: you just use 1 then as this is an example, if there is a conky running these instances will be killed first before launching a fresh one [07:24] paulus68: do I just add that script to startup items and log in? and ah, thanks, I realize that guy uses 3 configs while I just use one [07:24] danishbacker: pulseaudio has its annoying issues. have you tried alsamixer?

[07:32] thanks for your help! [07:32] conky has learned some new tricks over the last year or two [07:32] is there a way I can have conky wait until nautilus has opened instead? say, to optimize how soon it starts, and to avoid issues with nautilus taking unusually long to open. [07:33] rather, know when nautilus has control of the desktop [07:33] hey, if I do a disk dump (dd) it only copies the files right, like I don't need a disk bigger than the HDD?

Any idea why I get "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error \n passwd: password unchanged" when I want to change the password by typing "passwd" as root? [07:34] how do I stop it? [07:34] paulus68: I mean, I can just change the value for sleep to anything, I just thought that would be a cool hack if possible [07:34] pete_: ctrl c [07:35] hmmm....

[07:39] it's owned by root... [07:39] Glitchy_: best to keep that locked for security reasons [07:39] Glitchy_: use sudo to copy the files in. [07:39] I'm curious, is there any way to start a program as a startup item so that it doesn't open any windows, or minimizes them when it starts? maybe a command line flag? [07:39] okay, i'll do that [07:39] damno: if you dont use the suspend ir hibernate stuff. yes [07:39] thenickperson: depends on the software, some can run in a daemon mode [07:39] thenickperson: some programs have that. try programname --help in the terminal [07:40] dr_willis: I thought the same.. thanks [07:40] thanks, still need a link to those tuts dr w if you can send it my way, that way I don't have to bug ya guys every five seconds [07:40] does anybone here have xvidcap working on ubuntu? i'm completely at a loss on how to get sound to work [07:40] Glitchy_: hit up google or delicious.com for bash shell tutorials === Tectu is now known as Tectu|off [07:40] !shell [07:40] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[07:58] How so? [07:58] ikonia: yes, it's www-data [07:58] ive never seen a laptop set up that way [07:58] pulse00: so can you show me ls -la on a file created by the webserver please. [07:59] I wonder if Ubuntu will be as fast as my Windows XP on my netbook? [07:59] ikonia: drwxr-xr-x+ 8 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 28 09:50 prod [07:59] Windovoz: just give it a try [07:59] Windovoz: .faster i find then xp [07:59] ikonia: this ist the getfacl for the "prod" folder: https://gist.github.com/1247287 [07:59] pulse00: what is the location of this file on the file system [07:59] fritsch: how can I ? without ruining the current stuff? [07:59] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/698356/ [07:59] Windovoz: just start from cd / usb stick [08:00] Windovoz: there is a tryout mode [08:00] it will be fast from usb too? [08:00] ikonia: the full path is /var/www/vhosts/example.com/website/app/cache/prod [08:00] hi [08:00] fritsch: running from a usb/cd will not be a valid performance test [08:00] Windovoz: it will boot a little slow [08:00] very useable Windovoz [08:00] it will run slower [08:00] Windovoz: but when stuff is in memory [08:00] how can i open the "Run application" with keys? === Tectu|off is now known as Tectu [08:01] Windovoz: i think it will be as fast as xp anyways - even from stick / cd :-) [08:01] OK, the USB mode is read-only ? Like CD-mode [08:01] fritsch: then you think wrong [08:01] ikonia: ubuntu got so slow over time? [08:01] fritsch: running an OS against another OS running from a CD/external USB will never be as responsive [08:01] ikonia: i know, was just kidding above [08:02] fritsch: it's nothing to do with the OS, an internal disk based OS that is uncompressed will run faster by default than a OS booting on an external OS in a compressed format [08:02] dr_willis: any idea? [08:02] fritsch: please don't "joke" to misslead people [08:02] ikonia: i placed a smiley [08:02] hey guys [08:02] pulse00: I'm just trying to work out which would take priority here in terms of file creation mask [08:03] I used ceni to manage network connections, but I wanted to come back to network-manager, so I uninstalled it. Now wlan1 and eth1 dissapeared from my ifconfig and no application can see them. What to do to restore them? [08:03] xorg.conf Q [08:04] monotonia: i think you have to restore the default /etc/network/interfaces [08:04] monotonia: normally there are just two lines in [08:04] Im reading a thing explaining how to fix my video. It mentions adding a section to the xorg.conf file. But, the only file i have is an xorg.conf.d file and it doesnt look much like the section that is being added [08:04] monotonia: auto lo [08:04] monotonia: iface lo inet loopback [08:04] fritsch: the problem is, there are [08:04] fritsch: nothing else [08:05] monotonia: this is kind of strange then === Skywalker is now known as Guest92320 [08:05] you didn't tell me if USB mode will be read-only or not [08:05] monotonia: sudo dhclient [08:05] dr_willis: any idea? [08:06] Windovoz: per default ubuntu live does not write to any disk [08:06] fritsch: done, reboot or something? [08:06] Windovoz: but you can have write access, by accessing folders and so on [08:06] can I "install" it on USB? [08:06] monotonia: you can try to restart network-manager daemon [08:06] Windovoz: this can also be done [08:07] how do I do that? [08:07] Windovoz: as ikonia mentioned, it will be slow [08:07] fritsch: but that will not be compressed anymore [08:07] fritsch: still only eth0 and lo in ifconfig [08:07] monotonia: there only has to be lo device [08:08] monotonia: the rest is done with network-manager [08:08] monotonia: ah! got you [08:08] monotonia: ifconfig just reports eth0 and lo [08:08] monotonia: correct? [08:08] fritsch: yes [08:08] Finally, something that works. I used: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rinetd-redirects-tcp-connections-from-one-ip-address-and-port-to-another.html [08:08] monotonia: rightclick on nm-applet and click: activate wireless [08:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/698356/ my eject button doesn't work, any ideas? [08:08] thx Ibis [08:09] monotonia: which interface is missing? [08:09] fritsch: there is no option like that [08:09] dr_willis: That will do. [08:09] curiousx: You're welcome. Thanks you to for your time. [08:09] s/to/TWO [08:09] monotonia: is this a laptop and wireless is missing? [08:09] fritsch: eth1, for usb, and wlan, for wifi [08:09] How do I install Ubuntu to USB flash? [08:09] hehehe [08:09] your welcome too dude ==) === Bar_ is now known as Bartzy [08:09] Windovoz: Use unetbootin [08:09] fritsch: before uninstalling ceni it worked [08:09] naon eta teh artina ah [08:10] Windovoz: full install or a live cd setup. [08:10] monotonia: okay, can you "replug" the usb device? [08:10] dr_willis: full install [08:10] hey nuju naraon [08:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/698356/ my eject button doesn't work, any ideas? @ dr_willis [08:10] meni rame kieu [08:10] fritsch: lol, I did it many, many times, really [08:10] Windovoz: boot a cd. install to flash same as you.would a hd. [08:10] fritsch: it just stopped seeing it [08:10] Windovoz: unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ <----- That program will put your ISO file you downloaded from ubuntu into your USB flash drive. You then turn off your computer. Turn it back on and BE sure to ask your comptuer to boot from your USB drive and not your HARDDRIVe [08:11] monotonia: lsusb does report it? === Chat0831 is now known as euis [08:11] monotonia: what does your dmesg saf? [08:11] iSeeDeadPixels: tipe "eject" in the terminal [08:11] kumaha daramang gaya ?? [08:11] Ibis: that is live USB mode [08:11] iSeeDeadPixels: never seen a software contrilled eject media bytton. so no [08:11] euis, damang [08:11] Windovoz: Yea... And you can install from it too. [08:11] curiousx: No. [08:11] and eject -t to close [08:12] Windovoz: OoOooo I get it. Sorry, I misread that. [08:12] dr_willis: it's just a keybard button [08:12] iSeeDeadPixels: you may want to give more details when yiu reask the question. ;) [08:12] dr_willis Ibis: OK, I have a computer with DVD-ROM, I want to use ubuntu from USB flash on netbook [08:12] Windovoz: Basically, select an option that asks "How do you want to partition". Click on "Something else", and ask it to use your USB drive. [08:12] fritsch: wow, i plugged it in and it works, hurray, now if only wi-fi started to work too [08:12] dr_willis: learning dvorak, slow typing [08:12] iSeeDeadPixels: nwver seen a laptoo like that. so i have ni idea in it [08:12] monotonia: just reboot :-) [08:12] Windovoz: Oh then use Unetbootin. Lol, confusing me. [08:13] monotonia: it is easier than fiddling with modul loading [08:13] on my android phone typing slowly.. [08:13] fritsch: ok, if I won't return it means it worked :) [08:13] Windovoz: That is exactly HOW I install ubuntu every time. I not going to waste money On CD-disks. [08:13] teu di waro nyeri hate awas tah [08:13] monotonia: returning and saying thx is always a good idea [08:13] di tungguan di pajagalan [08:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/698356/ my eject button doesn't work, i do know about the terminal command, but i want my button to work [08:13] wew ah [08:13] Windovoz: Oh wait. Wow, I confused myself. [08:14] Windovoz: a live usb can install to a hd. a full install to a usb cant [08:14] Windovoz: With your "CD disk", you will eventually get to the installation option asking "How do you want to partition". [08:14] that better? [08:14] iSeeDeadPixels: call it a eject multimedia jeybord button [08:15] Windovoz: it may also say "install next to, or besides windows". Click on something else and be extremely sure you select USB flash drive to "Install TO". [08:15] otherwise we think its the button on the cd. [08:15] dr_willis: Can't install to USB? o_O [08:16] Ibis: hmm? i use a live flash setup to install to hd ir a usb to make a full install [08:16] cd or live ysb --> full install to hd [08:17] dr_willis: I thought Windovoz here wanted to install and use ubuntu from USB and not Harddrive. At first, I was instructing to use Unetbootin to install to "hd". [08:17] or full install to a second flash drive [08:17] Ibis: no ide what he wants... ;) [08:18] live use unetbiitin or pendrive linux tools [08:18] Windovoz: So. Exactly.. What are you trying to do? You want to install this to your /HardDrive/? [08:18] full use cd ir luve ysb. to do full insrall [08:19] and ubuntu doesn't wanna install on a raid too [08:19] ndirc still has this lame keybord bug.

[08:20] uhu [08:21] fritsch: onbaord [08:21] iSeeDeadPixels: a - a pseudo ICH10 one? [08:21] i dont bother with raid anymore. [08:21] it worked on older distro [08:21] iSeeDeadPixels: and now ubuntu only sees separate disks? [08:21] alternative cd is needed for a raid install i thought [08:21] No, it sees the raid [08:22] iSeeDeadPixels: okay, then i did not get the problem [08:22] it's a Asus Rampage II Extreme [08:22] but it fails to install [08:22] and it can't install grub [08:22] iSeeDeadPixels: what is the rror message? [08:23] iSeeDeadPixels: could you switch terminals and see some of them? [08:23] fritsch: it hangs at the checklist screen [08:23] i got it to install [08:23] fritsch: unfortunately, still no wlan [08:23] but then grub failed to install [08:23] monotonia: wireless is internal? [08:24] can anyone confirm that twitux client is no longer workind in 11.04 [08:24] iSeeDeadPixels: that makes sense, grub does not take the correct device [08:24] fritsch: yes [08:24] fritsch: let him do a lspci along with a lsmod [08:24] monotonia: can you pastebin an lspci [08:24] fritsch: i tried installing grub onto the raid, didn't work [08:25] working* [08:25] iSeeDeadPixels: you could run from live cd chrooting into it [08:25] meh [08:25] later today maybe [08:25] fritsch: it's this one: Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01).

[08:27] rapier: normally intel wireless does not need you to install drivers [08:27] rapier: they are integrated into the kernel [08:28] my wireless is still not working, i can softblock on and off bt iwconfig is not showing it at all.

Connecting to ssh over 443 takes way longer than over port 22. Can this be fixed, and how? [08:45] fritsch: Could that be why? [08:45] conntrack-: no, this just means 255 hobs between you and target [08:45] conntrack-: why did you change that setting?

[08:47] rabbi1: did you install the Vbox guest additions ? [08:47] Windovoz, are you used to using an older version? Are you interested in using unity?

I don't want old version/ [08:47] conntrack-: iptables -F and retry without [08:48] Windovoz, then 11.04 [08:48] rabbi1: yours usb port doesn't work on the windows virtual machine ? [08:48] Why is 32-bit version "recommended" [08:48] curiousx: yeah [08:48] Windovoz, because a lot of users don't know if they have a 32 bit or 64 bit machine, and 64 bit machines can use 32 bit os just fine. [08:49] Unless you have a bunch of ram or a high end machine, which a netbook obviously isn't, 32 is fine. [08:49] lion42: What if I do know? [08:49] ok then [08:49] waith me a minute i'll run my Winbug virtual machine =P [08:49] curiousx: okies...

[09:31] hello guys I have a problem or can say a doubt that.... I am using Windows Xp as well as Ubuntu 11.04 on dual mode but whenever I try to play sound in Xp it won't work but at the same time ubuntu will do it,,, That my sound system is supported in ubuntu but not in Xp. Xp says that my sound card is damaged so why is it working in ubuntu.. [09:31] RajDev_King, i think your problem is windows related not ubuntu [09:32] ie wrong channel [09:32] RajDev_King: windows probablyneeds drivers, whileubuntu already has those in the kernel. Try #windows for more help [09:33] Okae.. [09:33] I see [09:33] Kjekken scirpt out my thing but I would think if you would make sure you can mess with the boot priority or some kinda thing that makes keep your start up ... it's a guess [09:33] RajDev_King, I seem to remember a similar problem with my dual boot, my solution was to cold reboot when switching from one OS to the other, warm reboot (restart) seemed to be the problem. [09:35] Kjekken something with a script that you wrote poss we convene messing with it .. From booting up I mean [09:35] Sidewinder1: I didn't get you??? [09:35] RajDev_King, That's simply a suggestion; something to try. [09:36] Sidewinder1: Yeah Please tell me how to do it.. [09:37] Sidewinder1 does it seem like the grub not working? [09:37] RajDev_King, When going from ubuntu to win and vice-versa, use "Shut-Down" and NOT "Restart". [09:37] RajDev_King what your computer brand [09:38] htlm: it's intel pentium 4 [09:38] Sidewinder1; Oh I see.. [09:40] Okae thank you all for your support I will get back to you if still the problem's floating.. [09:40] Not the cpu .but it does help indircetly.... what is your brand I'm hoping it's not a toishba ... [09:40] htlm: It's samsung [09:40] no..no... it's INTEX [09:40] My LCD is Samsung [09:41] Well Ubuntu's so complex [09:41] Sometimes it's very difficult to deal with it..

[10:18] hi, In the "startup applications" I put "/home/user/./myscript" . myscript only contains "xclock" . Unfortunately, I don't see xclock after login. why ? [10:18] crimsonmane, It may not work and also may ruin the current version. That being said, if you open the .tar.bz file with "Archive Manager", you should find a readme type file with installation instructions. [10:18] crimsonmane: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable [10:19] sidewinder1 - that readme file gives a link to mozilla download page. there are no instructions there [10:19] crimsonmane: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade and u should have 7 [10:19] Chheapshot, Not if he's running 10.04, correct? [10:20] he tol dme to add mozilla to my repositories [10:20] i'm typing in last command now [10:20] OIC [10:20] well it worked for me atleast when i tried it [10:20] it's working so far [10:20] upgraded from 3.13 to 7 [10:21] i spent the last 4 hours searching online determined to find the answer myself [10:21] crimsonmane: :D hehe sometimes u just cant find what u'r looking for. I hit the 2nd result from google to find that repository :P [10:22] finity [10:22] you probably have my experience with linux [10:22] crimsonmane, Certainly hope you backed everything up.. :-) [10:22] more** [10:22] no i didn't back everything up. i use gmail IMAP settings so there is nothing to "lose" [10:23] alright lets see if this worked! [10:23] let's see if it worked! [10:23] omg can't see my own typing [10:23] crimsonmane: hope it did :D [10:23] how can it be ubuntu gives me thunderbird version 3, and on mozilla they have 7? its mainly about my "virtual identies" plugin :/ [10:23] Nothing can go wrong, go wrong,...

[10:32] shubham, I seem to remember someone else complaining about the same sort of thing but I forget the solution; 11.04, right? [10:32] yaa [10:32] Uhh, I found was the nr2 output [10:32] Weird [10:32] Thanks anyway [10:33] nvidia making junk drivers [10:33] whats its use [10:33] it is not able to save its setting!

[10:34] it recognizes that i press the button on that addon, but there is no response. [10:35] i have found "install from file" on the wrenches upper right corner. gonna try it [10:35] bt it each time changes to bizzare blue colour settings in videos [10:35] it totally ruined my video experiance [10:35] its like seeing avatar characters in all videos [10:35] crimsonmane: it might be that the addons wont support version 7 yet or something. But there was a way to trick them that u'r using older version. [10:35] shubham: can you fix this with a config change /? [10:36] ?? [10:36] shubham: can you fix this with a config change /?

[10:39] What's the best computer you reckon I could get for around £200? Custom built or pre built, doesn't matter. [10:39] all is fine except video colors [10:39] i've a question: i connect via ssh on a 10.04 (server) system ... is it possible to monitor whatever messages the kernel or daemons generate by monitoring some tty device? [10:39] Oops, sorry was menna be in offtopic [10:39] shubham: ok. So is it all videos or just some videos ? [10:39] vagy: dmesg [10:39] vagy: syslog [10:39] all videos [10:39] :( [10:39] shubham: can you run the command "file" against one of those video files for me [10:39] avatar like blue colors in videos [10:39] shubham: eg: "file myvideo.avi" [10:40] how to run command file?

[10:47] thanks ikonia: [10:47] vlt use the graphical windows its far easier [10:47] back to my trackpad + keyboard issues. Can anyone confirm all I need to do for bluetooth is 1) install bluez, 2) `sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX` 3) `sudo bluez-test-device trusted XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX yes` 4) restart [10:47] saju_m: just use the update manager to install updates as they are offered to you [10:47] maxillusionist: what's your question exactly? [10:47] shubham, Why not just use Totem (that's what I use), rather than vlc? [10:48] ahhughez: Is bluez not already installed? [10:48] no na i will give u example [10:48] yurik3829, nope.. but it is now. [10:48] some videos hangs in totem when i use seek baar [10:48] saju_m: it should automatically update to 10.04.3 [10:48] vlc is totally stable in that manner! [10:48] ahhughez: Have you tried the official guide here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [10:48] maxillusionist: I have no graphical windows here. [10:48] saju_m: 10.04.3 isnt a major upgrade [10:49] yurik3829, for 3 days straight :'( [10:49] ikonia sidewinder1 even my fingerprint reader isnt workin [10:49] shubham, I have never had that problem with avi.s, what you describe happens rarely, with other file formats. [10:49] my laptop is hp dv4 1241tx [10:49] can anybody suggest some ebooks on ubuntu [10:50] maxillusionist: help.ubuntu.com [10:50] yaa its usually does with mkv format [10:50] any links wuld be fine [10:50] ikonia: Currently I can login as root. It doesn't seem to be locked. Any idea how to check that? [10:50] vlt: did you install this machine. [10:50] ahhughez: bluetooth should already work OOTB.. which version of ubuntu are you using? [10:50] and mkv format is gud as far i talk abt clarity yet in small size [10:50] soreau, 11.04 [10:50] saju_m: type in terminal lsb_release -a to check your current version [10:51] ikonia: Yes. [10:51] ahhughez: Did you try running bluetooth-properties? [10:51] vlt: and it's ubuntu ? [10:52] ikonia: 10.04 LTS [10:52] vlt: Did you check the md5sum of the image you used to install ubuntu? [10:52] Chheapshot: 10.04 is the current version [10:53] soreau: Installed by debootstrap [10:53] vlt: who set the root passsword ? [10:53] ikonia: Me [10:53] Chheapshot: which is the major upgrade ? [10:53] vlt: ok, so that's why you can login as root [10:53] vlt: you've disabled the ubuntu security model [10:54] ! pm | ahhughez [10:54] ahhughez: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

Fedora has the best support for them I believe [10:54] ahhughez: You did not answer my previous quewstion [10:54] ikonia: Yes. But how to change the passwd? [10:54] erm.. [10:54] question, even [10:54] no, have not run bluetooth-properties soreau.. havent seen that in any of the howto guides :/ [10:55] ahhughez: Try running it as your normal user [10:55] vlt: you use the passwd command as you've been trying, but you've clearly changed something (probably when setting the root password the first time) [10:55] soreau, The program 'bluetooth-properties' is currently not installed. should I do this? [10:55] vlt: to be honest, I'm of the stance this week, that if think you know enough to set the root password then you should know what you're doing. [10:55] ikonia: What to check first (after /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /usr/bin/passwd)? [10:55] ahhughez: It should already have been installed. But since it isn't, install it [10:55] yurik3829: ohh now i have to install fedora?? :O plz can u help out in ubuntu only? [10:56] ikonia: this week only? :) [10:56] ikonia: After installing I just ran "passwd" once to set the root password. [10:56] vlt: then you should know what you're doing [10:56] vlt: if you think you know enough to bypass the security model and login as root directly, you should be confident [10:56] shubham: You don't have to install Fedora, though if you're having hardware problems with Ubuntu, it's always worth trying a different distro. Fedora is very bleeding edge, so can have good support sometimes. [10:57] vlt: I'm sure someone else maybe willing to help you [10:57] ikonia: not to mention using debootstrap to install.. ubuntu (?) [10:57] yurik3829: ok and my ir remote also not working it use to work in windows! [10:58] saju_m: Have u installed all the updates what it suggests to you?

I can see the devices... Im not sure they are working tho.... the greyed out bluetooth icon with a padlock on it is probably not the best sign right? [11:00] Chheapshot: i want to upgrade to latest version(patch) of ubuntu 10.04 === Xano_ is now known as Xano [11:00] ahhughez: I'm still wondering how you managed to install 10.04 without bluetooth packages [11:00] saju_m: if you update normally then you are using the latest [11:00] saju_m: try sudo apt-get update || sudo apt-get upgrade === Tectu|off is now known as Tectu [11:01] ok, [11:01] 11.04 soreau and this is mythbuntu...

[11:11] to bad [11:11] soreau, 11.04 [11:11] yellabs-r2: the regular tablets from wacom work just fine [11:11] yellabs-r2: the Ubuntu that i think is still in Beta has lots more built-in ability to work with that type of stuff. [11:12] the wacom bamboo touch is the one i need, for librabry setup [11:12] ahhughez: Oh, woops.. I read you wrong. sec [11:12] ?

I've tried 3.5 from repos, but then I can't get Install new software window to open, I've since tried to unpack&run 3.6, 3.7 and 4.1 as well. These versions freeze as I try to interact with files.

The Install window appears in newer eclipse versions, but they freeze when I'm working with them instead =[ [12:21] hi, I added "/home/user/my_script" to "startup applications" of the gnome menu. Unfortunately, it is not executed after login. why? I can execute the script with command line. [12:21] gnomeunity, there is no GnomeUnity. Unity is Unity, and Gnome is Gnome [12:21] hey guys i have installed vim on ubuntu but i do not have all the features, but varient i have to install to get all the features ?? [12:21] faLUCE - check .xsession-errors file it will tell you why [12:22] Odaym: unity is built on top of gnome [12:22] Gnome2 is Gnome2 and it is no longer used in most modern distros (ArchLinux and Fedora moved to Gnome3) [12:22] are you sure? [12:22] faLUCE but you probably need to do /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e /home/usr/script [12:22] hey guys .... i am using 10.04 here ... can i get the later artwork and GTK themes for later versions ( 10.10 , 11.04 ) ?

[12:25] faLUCE - if you just run the command it will run iun the background - you dont need to use the terminal [12:26] RaTTuS|BIG: but you said "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e /home/usr/script" [12:26] RaTTuS|BIG: when i do :version in the list i get -clipboard, that mean it is disabled in the build, any suggestions ?? [12:26] pratz_ I have no Idea [12:26] RaTTuS|BIG: ok [12:27] RaTTuS|BIG: I don't understand what to add in "startup applications" in order to run /home/user/myscript [12:27] faLUCE - yes the terminal will open a new tereminal and run your script - if you just want it to run with no terminal [depends on your script] then you can just do /usr/home/script - but check the .xsession errors to see what is erring - as it should say [12:28] also check ps axOT to see if it's runing [12:29] RaTTuS|BIG: ok thanks let's try === Calinou_ is now known as Calinou [12:32] RaTTuS|BIG: gnome-session[1870]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'RestartScripts.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "/home/ocs/Sistema/SysScripts/./foo" (Permission denied) [12:33] RaTTuS|BIG: which permissions should I add to foo ?

[12:57] Does the opensource ATI driver support dual screen? [12:57] and/or does the default VGA driver? (non-ATi) [12:58] furyoshonen: disabling ipv6 helps things :) [12:59] sidewinderl I don't think so because restarting resolves the problem [12:59] What is the name of the default VGA drivers in Ubuntu? [12:59] hello, how to know the tv stream url from a web page? [12:59] I am expecting this to go wrong ^ [12:59] ujjain: ati or radeon are common [12:59] hi, I use Transmission to download torrents but I've got to use vpn to override ISP limits. I don't have to use vpn in windows-utorrent but in ubuntu it limits my download speed with Transmission and Vuze. what's the problem?! [13:00] ActionParsnip: k, :) [13:00] Amin_: different drivers, different OS [13:00] Amin_, Did you research the "port-forwarding" situation as suggested earlier? [13:01] Sidewinder1, I don't have an idea? what exactly should I do? [13:03] Can I just remove the old driver and install the new one and hope Xorg.conf will still be correct? [13:03] Amin_, A step by step on port forwarding is a little beyond the scope of this channel; you might want to do a search for port forwarding, as it pertains to your router. and or wireless card. [13:04] what is the embed code of a video stream? [13:05] nuclearworm: I'd ask in a html channel [13:05] Install a extension called 'video hunter' in firefox, and this extension can show the video url [13:06] ActionParsnip, ok , thanks === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [13:08] ActionParsnip, do you know an html channel? [13:09] nuclearworm: #html [13:09] nuclearworm, If you only want to download the video stream, have a look for Firefox's add-on/extension of "UnPlug." [13:11] RaTTuS|BIG: this is a workaround and, in addition, the terminal window is not invisible.... [13:11] is there anyway to bypass wifi connection download speed? (by deafult, the router gives 10mbps to each client) [13:11] hello, I run 11.10 and Alt+Ctrl+Shift+R on GS isn't working on me, anyone else has the same issue? [13:13] alexd285 : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [13:13] Pici, ok [13:13] Amin_: how do you mean 'bypass'? [13:13] Sidewinder1 , i would like to watch tv streams on vlc instead of on a web page [13:13] Amin_: if the wireless link is 10Mb, you cannot go faster than that [13:14] Hey, I've just added the firefox-stable PPA but no Firefox 7? What gives? [13:14] notlostyet: ask the PPA maintainers [13:14] notlostyet: run: sudo apt-get update then retry [13:15] I did that [13:15] notlostyet: ask the PPA maintainers [13:15] hi there [13:15] Can somebody please help me? Ubuntu is just always giving me pain when I try to change something. [13:16] I uninstalled proprietrary VGA driver and installed the opensource version. [13:16] ujjain: just state your problem [13:16] notlostyet: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [13:16] It doesn't boot anymore, I can press alt-f2 to get into this shell. [13:16] ActionParsnip: natty [13:16] notlostyet: ok then visit https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable notice which releases are supported.... [13:16] nuclearworm, I guess you could install UnPlug in Firefox; download the video; and watch it in vlc. But that sounds like more trouble than it's worth. [13:16] I followed many different instructions and tried the failsafe xorg.conf. [13:17] can someone please point me to a doc for configuring com port settings 9600/8/none/1 to connect to a switch console port? I am using ubuntu 10.10 and would like to connect to the switch using gnome-terminal or terminator [13:17] Can somebody maybe lookup how I can recreate xorg.conf? dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver (I have it in text-file) doesn't do it, and failsafe xorg.conf doesn't boot. [13:17] notlostyet: which (If you'd actually checked the PPA) you would have seen. That's "what gives" [13:17] ujjain: if you remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will fall back to auto detect [13:18] So older OS versions get newer software first [13:18] Makes sense [13:18] ikonia: I will rename xorg.conf and see what happens, thanks! [13:18] notlostyet: its a 3rd party PPA, there is no control [13:18] notlostyet: firefox 7 is in Oneiric [13:18] Hiyas all [13:18] notlostyet: one more time "ask the PPA maintainers" [13:19] notlostyet: that PPA is maintained by some dude, its not an official repo so there is zero jusistiction of what releases they have to support [13:19] Hi all I was wondering whether you can run mac alongside ubuntu on a non apple machine? [13:19] notlostyet: its nothing to do with canonical [13:20] dean: I'd check the apple licensing first [13:20] ikonia: thanks, you are my hero! [13:20] ActionParsnip, Ok cool thanks are you aware if vbox runs mac os? [13:20] notlostyet: so you "makes sense" comment is worthless === Guest1603 is now known as darkriszty [13:21] dean: not sure, I have zero interest in the OS [13:21] I do enjoy this non-helpful linux elitism [13:21] here was me thinking this was a general ubuntu chat room [13:21] ActionParsnip, No probs thanks anyway [13:21] notlostyet: how is it elitism? [13:21] notlostyet: no, this is the official support channel for ubuntu [13:21] notlostyet: it is, that's why I gave you the correct information of talk to the PPA maintainer [13:22] because you probably know how you can help me but you're being unhelpful simply because you're smug and don't like people you think are newbies [13:22] hi, can someone help me out with a surround related audio problem? [13:22] notlostyet: no, the answer is to contact the PPA maintainer, only he knows what it supports and why [13:22] notlostyet: lets break it down: you assed a 3rd party repo maintained by a non-canonical member and then moan it doesn't support your release. Think about it.... [13:22] notlostyet: it's genuine advice, it's not something "we" the community control, [13:22] my rear speakers are not working, the front l+r, center and subwoofer are ok though [13:22] I don't care about the PPA [13:23] notlostyet: sorry, have I missunderstood, I thought you where asking for help with a PPA [13:23] notlostyet: what's the issue ? [13:23] the fact that some of the biggest Ubuntu user websites are suggesting it blindly is irrelevent I suppose [13:23] lets try to help [13:23] notlostyet: you can add it manually if you want, there are downloadable binaries on the firefox site [13:23] I want to install Firefox 7 on natty [13:23] Simples [13:23] notlostyet: I have instructed how to get it [13:23] notlostyet: what version of ubuntu are you running ? [13:23] natty [13:23] notlostyet: ok, you need to find a repo that contains it [13:23] notlostyet: at the moment there is no official package for natty [13:23] Do you know of one? [13:24] notlostyet: so you have a limited choice of using a 3rd party repo [13:24] can you recommend another channel for audio related issues? [13:25] notlostyet: i'll write you a script [13:25] hi bro [13:25] hi , i can't find the "inittab" in ubuntu , where is it [13:25] notlostyet, see this page with ppa and instructions > https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [13:25] OerHeks: I've tried that PPA [13:26] !sound | darkriszty [13:26] darkriszty: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

[13:30] ActionParsnip, Some are like that. :'( [13:30] pielstick: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux [13:30] why not here [13:30] pielstick: you can also try blackbuntu [13:30] Sidewinder1: even in real life i get right up to people if they are ignorant like that, no need for it at all [13:30] !backtrack > pielstick [13:30] pielstick, please see my private message [13:30] pielstick: its possibly illegal activity [13:31] ActionParsnip, Agreed. [13:31] ubottu: it seems like i've tried almost all of those things [13:31] darkriszty: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:31] Ubuntu: I hate you. [13:31] :) [13:31] ))) [13:31] is there anybody who knows how to change the runlevel in ubuntu? [13:31] ujjain: why? [13:31] !runlevel [13:31] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:31] hello, i enjoy the use of the cpu frequency scaling applet, unfortunately, i have 8 different cpu cores i must manage. does anyone know of a way to combine them into one setting? [13:32] jamesw: manually setting their scaling governor by writing to dev/sys/cpu or something like that [13:32] pielstick: its possibly illegal activity [13:32] Stanley00: 1) opensoruce driver doesn't do multi-monitor, proprietary driver needs lots of hacks 2) Ubuntu does not shut down anymore 3) I always get logged out within 10min 4) Sooo many issues all the time and OS not booting anymore. [13:32] when its happen? [13:33] RaTTuS|BIG: just found where the problem. myscript is in an usb attached memory. /home/user/mydir/myscript <---- mydir is not a real dir but only a link to the usb memory. If I copy the script into a real dir, it works. but why doesn't it work in thie usb dev too ? [13:33] ubottu,i want to start into text mode , not gui , so i want to change that inittab [13:33] chroot: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:33] error: no video mode activated on Natty .

[13:34] Sidewinder1: 4hours ago you said even? [13:34] is this means that the /default/grub is eq to /etc/inittab ? [13:34] in ubuntu [13:35] littlebear, Yes, I accidently hit the "Tab" key after typing little; sorry... [13:35] nobody answer at this channel : blackbuntu [13:35] error: no video mode activated on Natty . Any suggestions? [13:35] pielstick: pardon ? [13:35] chroot: the /etc/default/grub is the place to define boot options [13:35] shall waid [13:36] chroot: the boot option you need to add in the quotes with: quiet splash is: text [13:36] I'm having trouble understanding how I can extend my boot partion with gparted in live CD mode. Resize sure doesn't work :/ [13:36] yeah , i have tried that , and worked , [13:36] I've just used clonezilla to move my installation to a new hdd btw [13:36] chroot: where is the issue?

[13:38] don't know if it's allowed to post the network here or not [13:38] Hi all [13:38] ActionParsnip, i am leaning linux , and the teacher said inittab , but i do the same things in grub , [13:38] I am running Linux #27-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 2 22:53:38 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:38] ActionParsnip, so i think it is equal between grub and inttab file [13:38] chroot, so you're wanting to change the runlevel? [13:39] i.e. Ubuntu lucid on a t1.micro instance on Amazon EC2 [13:39] It is the one available under free tier and comes with 8GB disk space. [13:39] already changed , and now , i want to figure out the relationship between the two file [13:40] Sidewinder1: I dunno, it's odd. How would one usually go about resizing the boot partion? I can only make it smaller [13:40] I attached an additional 100GB disk (which is /dev/sdm) and mounted in at /d/data1 [13:40] chroot: no, the grub file is only to set grub options, the boot services are managed differentlt. The only reason I mentioned the file as it achieved the text boot which you wanted [13:40] even though I have lots of unallocated space [13:40] df -h shows that the default disk of 8GB, mounted on my root partition, is almost full [13:41] ActionParsnip, but they all worked ,one in redhat ditro , and the other in ubuntu . [13:41] I'm trying to push a file into a .jar package with the File Archiver software provided with ubuntu, but it won't push one of the files in, how do I open the archiver with my terminal to see the output? [13:41] I tried to dig around to see what is taking up disk space, but du -csh doesn't give me anything apart from the 14GB being used on the additional drive (/dev/sdm1) [13:42] How can I find out what is taking so much of space on my first disk (/dev/sda1) of 8GB? [13:43] brahmana: use baobab, it's GUI tool... [13:43] Chris_0076, modifying the runlevel in inittab works in redhat but I believe Ubuntu has replaced it [13:43] Stanley00: this is a server machine and I have logged in to it via ssh.. so can't use GUI tools [13:44] chroot, read this page ==> http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [13:44] runlevel 3 is cli (text) mode [13:44] dweez,ok [13:44] ActionParsnip got disconnected. [13:44] !runlevels [13:44] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [13:44] brahmana, cd to a folder on /dev/sda1 and run du -h again [13:45] lol, thanks zykotick9, where were you a few moments ago? [13:45] brahmana: use du without the -s switch, I think [13:45] scarleo: did that on each folder present in / - they are showing the right numbers. Only df -h shows that it is 100% [13:45] hey how to remove print$ from sambha sharing [13:45] ? [13:46] ubottu, ok , got it [13:46] chroot: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:46] Stanley00: without -s I will get a list of all files, not useful [13:46] brahmana, what is 100%? [13:46] ubottu, [13:46] * brahmana hopes he can paste two lines here without being kicked.. ! [13:46] scarleo: here it is [13:46] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 7.9G 7.8G 0 100% / [13:47] brahmana: ah, sorry, I didnt understand you from the beginning... haha [13:47] chroot, ubottu is a bot [13:47] !ubottu > chroot [13:47] chroot, please see my private message [13:47] how to remove print$ from sambha sharing [13:48] scarleo: that is the first line of output from df -h which shows that /dev/sda1 mounted on / is 100% (which I am pretty sure isn't) [13:48] Stanley00: nm [13:48] brahmana, dont run df -h, run du -h [13:48] brahmana, from / if you want to see ecvery folder and file [13:49] brahmana: doesnt ubuntu come witha disk usage analyzer build in. A tool with nice UI [13:49] hello [13:49] scarleo: No, I don't want to see each and every file. I wan't to see disk level utilization [13:49] Hi. anyone know how to create a bootable USB with uefi support ? I am using unetbootin but my laptop is not booting from the USB.

[13:50] brahmana, this might help -- "cd /" then run "du -sh * 2>/dev/null" to see what directories are taking all the space [13:50] i have a small problem when write shell script [13:50] zykotick9: Did that and the only one taking space is the /d/data1 where my second drive is mounted [13:50] du / | sort -nr [13:51] and is there anybody who could explain to me the reason [13:51] is it possible to uninstall/remove what was installed last time through apt-get/synaptic? (e.g. two packages and 10 dependencies) [13:51] zykotick9: except for /d/data1, other directories will add up to 1 GB [13:52] binni, yes [13:52] hmm [13:52] binni, use apt-get remove filename [13:53] use -purge [13:53] of apt-get purge filename [13:53] apt-get leaves lots to stuff behind otherwise [13:53] how to remove print$ folder from samba sharing?? [13:53] who can shell scripting [13:54] chroot: well I meant remove them all in one command without having to write in the name of all the packages, like apt-get purge history-last or last-apt_get, but what is the difference between remove and purge? [13:54] binni, If installed with Synaptic, simply highlite what you want to remove, click "completely remove' than click "apply". [13:54] please anyone can tell me?

[14:09] oh and irssi [14:10] RaTTuS|BIG: who are you talking to ? you just seem to be saying random words [14:10] brb [14:11] RaTTuS|BIG, how can we continue talking [14:11] and not annoy ubottu [14:11] chroot: /join #ubuntu-chat or using pm [14:11] Pici: thx this vimtutor seems handy tutorial [14:11] sidewinder1 aajgar but how to copy that copy option not coming when i selecting lines that aajgar wrote [14:12] type it if you can't copy .. :) [14:12] Stanley00, i just want to learn something about linux [14:12] Was there an update yesterday/today? All of a sudden I'm seeing a different grub! [14:12] chroot, Or, right click on user-nick then click open dialog window... at least for x-chat. [14:12] (a much prettier one, at that) [14:12] hello [14:12] ok , try [14:13] shubham_rathi, Try ctrl-shift-V [14:14] sidewinder1 ok thanks :) [14:14] My pleasure. === kyle is now known as Guest86679 [14:15] Sidewinder1, i can't connect to the user. [14:15] aajgar sidewinder now how to restart samba? [14:15] can you teach me how between us [14:15] aajgar sidewinder1 did i have to restart whole system? [14:15] what version of ubuntu do you have ? [14:16] for anything above 10.04 you can use restart samba [14:16] as root from the terminal , [14:17] aajgar yaa i have 11.04 [14:17] aajgar so how to restart it? [14:17] open terminal and do sudo restart samba . [14:18] aajgar ok thanks [14:18] hello [14:18] yw!! [14:18] hello [14:18] hello [14:18] aajgar error coming unknown job samba [14:19] unimtest, It's workin'. [14:19] yes [14:19] I am sorry , sudo restart smbd [14:19] hi all...i have mistakenly configured a mail account in Evolution..now i want to delete that account and create it agian [14:19] would this be the right place to ask questions about upgrading ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04.x on a dual-boot system? [14:19] help [14:19] aajgar ok [14:20] after you place something in /etc/cron.d do you have to restart crond? === genupulas is now known as raju [14:20] asteve: I don't think you have to , === hashi_ is now known as papol [14:21] !eol | papol [14:21] papol: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:21] hi [14:21] I have two computers running ubuntu 11.04, I want to move files from one to the other over my network. How do I do it? I've right clicked on the folders, clicked share, allowed guest access. But still, it says on this computer (the one I want the files on) that it's unable to mount windows share? I don't get it, both computers are running linux, what's it got to do with windows? [14:21] aajgar hey print$ folder gone but even my other sharing folder gone did i have to again start their sharing? [14:22] when i enable wobble windows and 3d cube, the windows border disapears [14:22] sounds like something crashed [14:22] fabienne, you can use samba [14:22] or ftp [14:22] is it because i have both ccsm and tweak ubuntu? [14:22] sounds like something crashed, manas [14:22] how do i do it with ftp? [14:22] but its happening every time!! [14:22] fabienne, use scp [14:23] you should install ftp server in your ubuntu machine [14:23] We've got a bandwidth problem here... Is there a sniffer I can install that will catch traffic to and from the WAN even though this box isn't the gateway? Our firewall can't just be lef tin packet capture mode, or it crashes. [14:23] !scp [14:23] scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [14:23] Probably , you will have to add the shares again , [14:23] Dweez, chroot: Which is the easier way of doing it. An ftp server? Ok. Is there a tutorial for an ftp server? [14:23] if you use scp , you need install ssh [14:23] I don't need ssh, it's just on a home network. [14:23] fabienne, sudo apt-get install vsftpd I think [14:23] fabienne: use rsync [14:24] why wouldn't you have ssh installed? [14:24] rsync is good too (but also (can) use ssh for it's transport) [14:24] fabienne, wait a min [14:24] craigbass1976: you will need to put a box between your gateway and LAN, manage everything from there with 2 NICs [14:24] I have a NAS as well which uses ftp, so I'd like that to be compatible with these computers. [14:24] craigbass1976: not really a ubuntu question though [14:25] fmauro, I suspected that would be the case. [14:26] fabienne, i have a small script , it will do the work for you (intsall ftp server) [14:26] and how can you get it [14:26] ? [14:26] now this is my problem [14:26] well you could reARP everyone to go through one NIC but that is just not feaseable for large networks. [14:26] fabienne, If you decide on the rsync method, you might also want to try the GUI front end called "Grsync". [14:26] craigbass1976: well you could reARP everyone to go through one NIC but that is just not feaseable for large networks. [14:27] oh you can get filezilla for ubuntu, does that do ftp server? [14:27] ok , i say you do it on your computer , it is easy [14:27] fmauro, it SEEMS to have started when I put up a new ubuntu web server, but I really think it's coincidence... [14:27] fabienne, [14:28] are u ready [14:28] chroot: ready for what? [14:28] guys through shh how can i check that mod_rewrite is loaded [14:28] i said the command , you run it [14:28] it is really easy [14:29] can i install ubuntu using /cdrom as mount point? which problems will i have doing that? [14:31] fabienne, or you recieve my file , and run it ,that is all [14:31] chroot: I clicked accept but it's not downloading === quiesense is now known as quiescens [14:32] funy, is there anybody who knows how to transfer a file [14:32] hello [14:33] hi i have ubuntu server - how do i find GB repositories for apt-get [14:33] how can i free a specific port, which is used by another application? [14:34] GN [14:34] fabienne, can i send the file to your mailbox [14:34] ? [14:34] irc used to be used for file sharing [14:34] fabienne, Perhaps this might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grsync [14:35] ePirat: close the application using it [14:35] until torrents kicked in [14:35] fmauro, how can i figure out which app is using it? [14:35] ePirat: look in /etc/services , comment the port # you want to free . [14:36] kqian: IRC is still used for filesharing. Join the Rizon network some time. [14:36] chroot, Just so you know, I have never succeeded in sending/receiving files in X-Chat and I have tried many times, port configs etc... [14:37] Perhaps I'm just 'thick". [14:37] aajgar, the port isnt listed there... [14:37] There are a lot of things in the way of irc file transfers :) [14:38] Sidewinder1: Are you on a University or private network, where someone might be filtering certain traffic? [14:38] then it should be free, are you getting any errors when you try to access it ? [14:38] yurik3829, No, home network, wired and wireless; this particular box is wired. [14:40] !nomodeset > OerHeks [14:40] I'm trying to upgrade the linux side of a dual-boot w7/ubuntu9.10 system to ubuntu 10.04.3 without having 10.04.3 auto-misuse grub2 to overwrite /dev/sdx. Anyone know how to manage that? Thanks in advance. [14:40] OerHeks, please see my private message [14:40] check what app is using the port .. netstat -an | greop [14:40] hi all [14:40] guys what that means Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden ? [14:41] hashi: Make a backup first before you try anything. It's a good general practice. [14:41] 2.6.38 freezes randomly on my machine, no log messages and no call traces, sysrq does not work, to recover have to reset and windows has been running straight for 1d+ on same hardware i dont know how to report it as a bug even since i dont have any reports [14:41] hashi, Did you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:41] Thanks and have done that Lasers [14:41] I'm just hoping that grub2 doesn't go nuts and decide to write a sector to the disk root which already has a bootloader. [14:42] all kernels after 2.6.38-8 freezes too [14:42] Is firefox 7 out for ubuntu 64bit> [14:42] Yes, I took a look at that. I think the docs become somewhat null when you try to find about dual-boot setup behavior [14:43] jiltdil, no. not for regular updates, yet. [14:43] hashi, You may also wish to familiarize yourself with the differences between Grub Legacy and Grub2. [14:43] OerHeks, ya i see [14:43] jiltdil: Yes, you can use the ppa https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [14:43] rephase:: Is grub2's behavior managable during the EOL upgrade (update-manager -d) or are there no options for that? [14:44] yurik3829, hm not believe in ppa [14:44] jiltdil, if you can't wait, you can add ppa:chromium-daily/ppa and download 15.0.8710 [14:44] I've already installed grub2 on 9.10 but it's the automated process that worries me (update-manager -d) [14:44] jiltdil: The ppa works perfectly, but entirely up to you [14:45] yurik3829, i know it dude :) any way thanks for giving your valuabe time [14:45] hashi, With a version that is EOL, I don't believe that it's recommended to use the 'update' feature. [14:45] Sidewinder: What is recommended instead? [14:46] I'm watching top, and I see something not explained in the man pages. Up in the summary section, in the Cpu(s): line, I see 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st. What's the 99.7%id mean? The man page skips over that one [14:46] hashi, Back up your /home, as you said you already did, then clean install the version of your choice; I prefer LTS, 10.04 is current. [14:47] when will firefox 7 get published the repos [14:47] so i can use update centre to grab it [14:47] hashi, Then copy your backed-up /home to the new /home on the new install, I thinh.. [14:47] think, even. [14:48] I have this error have this error Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden [14:48] what that means and what can i do ? [14:48] Sidewinder : I've got the entire disk imaged, so that's fine. I was just wondering what grub2 does during the upgrade (hopefully not clobber the root (/dev/sda)> [14:48] glioros: AllowOverride None would cause this [14:48] glioros: You have to turn on the options to follow symlinks in your apache config, for the specific website folder you're trying to use .htaccess in [14:48] mc89__, within days, i guess [14:49] hashi, I'm tellin' ya, with all due respect, I wouldn't trust "Upgrade" when you're dealing with EOL. [14:49] yurik3829 how can i turn them on ? [14:49] mc89__ if you can't wait, you can add ppa:chromium-daily/ppa and update to download 15.0.8710 [14:49] glioros: One sec, I have my own copy of the config file, I'll find it [14:49] ah sorry [14:50] OK: I don't trust it anyway. I've had terrible experiences with it in VMs but I was hoping a native box would behave better ;) [14:50] thanks. [14:50] mc89__, ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [14:51] how do i install wine on natty? [14:51] glioros: Similar to this, this is how I do it on my web server http://pastebin.com/qiGiXGjB [14:51] heloo [14:51] glioros: Read the apache documentation for more info [14:51] hashi, Actually, my best friend is in the same position; he's currently running Hardy. When he's ready, I'll follow my own advice (big surprise there), afterall, it's his system. :-) [14:51] anybody there ? [14:51] Oops, he's gone. Rats! [14:52] :d [14:52] :D [14:52] glioros: You have to add that (or modify) your httpd.conf file [14:52] ubuntu_, Only 1,611.. [14:53] glioros: depending on your version, this may be in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [14:53] I wouldn't know, I use Scientific Linux for servers [14:53] guys do you think that this might be the reason the youtube to mp3 script is not running / [14:53] ? [14:55] OerHeks, added how do i update firefox though [14:55] or do i just redownload it [14:56] is there an easy way in bash to rename files even numbers 2.jpg 4.jpg etc?

[15:03] Ibis, I couldn't really answer your question but figgered' since no one else answered, I'd point you there; sorry it wasn't of more help. :'( [15:03] somsip i change it to All [15:03] and i am still getting the error Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden [15:03] Sidewinder1, can i ask some questions [15:04] !ask | chroot [15:04] chroot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:04] glioros: okay - sounds like it's outside the scope of #ubuntu. I could guess at suggesting you add FollowSymLinks to the default file as suggest earlier by someone else, but it is just clutching at straws [15:04] * Sidewinder1 Is not really intelligent, but ask away. :) [15:05] hey my server boots up and gives me this error reiserfs_read_locked_inode what does this mean ? [15:05] Sidewinder1, copy that [15:06] wamicho: I think you have some bad blocks on your disk , [15:06] wamicho, reiserfs is a file system and not the default of ubuntu (ext3, ext4), if that helps...

It's gone out of popularity since the main developer was convicted of murdering his wife... [15:08] and the RAID howto asks me to do something that seems to be impossible [15:08] namely run the raidhotadd command [15:08] apt-file search raidhotadd doesnt find anything [15:08] that is a utility called reiserfsck , but I would first take a backup and then run it ., [15:09] how can I fix a broken raid in ubuntu?

[15:21] kkulhavy, I'd demand my money back! [15:21] yes I demand my development time back which I contributed to the comunity [15:22] or that the rubbish howtos that poison the google search results be deleted [15:22] this is denial of service attack on google results [15:22] in my opinion [15:22] "the linux documentation project" [15:22] I feel contemptuous.

[15:23] how do i force stop a backintime job? [15:24] * Sidewinder1 Knew that was commin'. :) [15:24] Sorry.. [15:24] Couldn't resist. [15:24] ppl any comment ? [15:25] * Sidewinder1 Puts on his resistance cap. [15:25] I'm on a 64bit laptop with 4bg what would be the best version of ubuntu11.04 32 bit or 64 bit? [15:25] ubuntu recommend 32bit? [15:25] I feel unfairly treated for being kicked [15:26] kkulhavy, gonna continue with your cool story, bro? [15:26] i'd recommend 64bit, but thats your choice sdperez79 ;) [15:26] sdperez79: 64bit to use all the 4gb [15:26] I feel disrespected when u say cool story [15:26] KirinDave: please dont [15:26] kkulhavy: respect the rules and you're welcome here [15:26] kkulhavy, You kinda' asked for it, no? [15:26] will the 32 bit software onlinux be compatible? [15:26] kkulhavy: for general chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic, here is specifically support only [15:27] sdperez79, If your system is 64 bit, use that version. [15:27] hey [15:27] I feel unfairly treated, because I asked for support for software raid , and jussi says "for general chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic" [15:28] sdperez79, 32 will work on 64; however, 64 won't work on 32; HTH. [15:28] kkulhavy: you need to keep it specificly to support only in here, if you have complaints, please direct them to #ubuntu-ops.

[15:31] 3 lines maybe [15:31] oh I see, my bad [15:31] dunno for sure [15:31] you're probably right [15:31] since it said flood, not something else [15:31] i found out the raid re-add [15:32] its done by mdadm --add [15:32] looks like the raidhotadd command is obsolete or not exists anymore [15:32] and that the official howtos on the internet still recommend the old command [15:32] hope other people can use this information too! [15:32] hey guys i have a problem with my touch screen in ubuntu it seems to work but all movement is inverted if i touch it on the right it recognizes it left etc [15:33] I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 via F4 CLI option. When I did this the installation was great. When it rebooted into the new CLI system the screen was all white with little black lines on it. I then tried other terminals such as F1 and F2. Those were also unreadable. I did manage to just type in the commands to get xorg and fluxbox. I gave it a few minutes to do its thing which was also scrambled. When I typed in startx it did go right into fluxbox and I [15:33] hi can i be unbanned from ubuntu-offtopic? [15:33] AlexDevilLX: join #ubuntu-ops - as you know. [15:33] AlexDevilLX: #ubuntu-ops [15:33] thx [15:33] kkulhavy: out of interest, was it raidtools or mdadm the howto was pointed at [15:34] Any ideas for a decent screen recorder for ubuntu? Video and sound. [15:35] mang0, Are you talkin' a snap-shot or streaming? [15:35] hi all [15:35] morning [15:35] mang0, VLC can do that [15:35] Sidewinder1: Streaming. Like camstasia for windows, etc. [15:35] OerHeks: Really?! [15:35] i am getting the following error on my box : "cannot unlock the session because the authentication system failed to work. You must kill kscreenlocker manually " [15:36] ikonia, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-8.html#ss8\ [15:36] mang0, Have you checked out UnPlug? It's a FF add-on/extension for recording streaming video. [15:36] !nl [15:36] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [15:36] kkulhavy: raidhotadd I believe is from the now defuct raidtools [15:36] Sidewinder1: No, will look into it, thankyou :) [15:37] any ideas guys ? [15:37] nphase, glad to've hepped'. [15:37] Is there a way to boot directly into a desktop without the intervention of XDM or GDM or any display manager? I am building a MAME box. [15:37] KirinDave: I think that is there for legacy systems (very old) that are still using raid tools. [15:37] Sidewinder1: huh [15:37] battlecat: like arcade? [15:37] DeLorean731: Interesting thing... Vim has a built-in tutorial mechanism of it's own, though, usually you can run it with "vim-tutor", and it explains so much more. [15:38] mango VLC > Media > recordapp and select 'desktop' in record modus ( i am not sure about the menu, i use NL ) [15:38] nphase, I did it again...Ggrrrr hit the "Tab' key by accident. Humblest apologies. [15:38] AlexDevilLX like arcade. [15:38] ok [15:38] Sidewinder1: :) [15:38] Battlecat: Configure your display manager to autologin [15:38] Been on here WAY too long. [15:39] theadmin I would like to avoid using a DM because this is running on a P3 and anything I do not need I would rather not use. [15:39] theadmin: DeLorean731 : the actual command in 'vimtutor' [15:39] bastidrazor: Ah, makes sense [15:39] * Sidewinder1 Takes his clumbsy fingers and departs.. Have a good one, ALL! [15:39] I was so excited to get this CLI version of Ubuntu up and running this morning even with the White screens that I had to deal with. [15:39] theadmin: i went back through it a few weeks ago to help my vimskills [15:40] theadmin: could you explain that a little further for Battlecat [15:40] allowoverride: Sure, I can't type too fast just now, I'm in a very weird, almost crying state, don't force stuff on me === camilleqco is now known as cacey [15:40] Battlecat: Let me try and find something for you [15:40] theadmin thank you. [15:40] Battlecat: could use just openbox for lightness, or lxde if you want a light DE. There are ways to make Linux autorun the desktop without a login screen too [15:40] im also wondering if that was the correct response. first, Battlecat what is a mame box [15:41] anybody know about V4l2?(video for linux 2) [15:41] allowoverride: websearch for MAME see what you find ;-) [15:41] I noticed that when I was using the Ubuntu derivative Lubuntu the LXDM has no GUI to allow for auto-login, you have to edit text files and the GDM once installed via APT-GET did not function correctly. [15:42] Battlecat: Okay, run this, echo "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc [15:42] Battlecat: i read what your doing, that seems to the be the fix. good luck [15:42] Battlecat: Replace gnome-session with the session of your desktop [15:42] a MAME box is a PC or MAC that is dedicated to running the MAME emulator with a Graphical front-end that is joystick friendly (usually). [15:43] Battlecat: weird. Could install minimal then install openbox for light OS [15:43] Battlecat: sounds fun :) [15:43] right [15:43] ActionParsnip I went with Fluxbox because I know it and its easy to setup an auto run program without the actual desktop. [15:43] Battlecat: slim is a nice lightweight login manager [15:43] can anyone help me ? [15:44] Battlecat: sooo... Why do you need a DE at all? Just autostart your emulator on X startup (via .xinitrc) [15:44] Does slim allow for both autologin and desktop selection? [15:44] Battlecat: fluxbox is a fine choice. Very powerful [15:44] How can I found answer the question abot v4l2?!! [15:44] Nika: maybe you just should ask your real question [15:45] Battlecat: everyone has an opinion on a WM. pick the one with the prettiest background :) [15:45] I've read about using the .xinitrc but to be honest when I have tried it I usually end up with a non-functioning box. [15:45] and themes [15:45] Battlecat: Means you're doing it wrong [15:45] Battlecat: i believe so, its very configurable. You can make the OS log you in and run the GUI without login screen too [15:45] my qusetion about USE_USERPTR(I/O stream) [15:45] Battlecat: i dont see why gnome wouldnt be an option though... [15:45] I use Wah!Cade as my Arcade FrontEnd. So I never see the desktop. [15:45] dd has gotten slower and slower, it started at 32M/s now its at 1M/s [15:46] I will look into slim. [15:46] Battlecat: ic [15:47] THe nice thing about Wah!Cade is that you never need to use a mouse or keyboard. The joystick and buttons do all the work. [15:48] Battlecat: awesome! [15:48] Battlecat: http://linux.koolsolutions.com/2009/03/15/howto-autologin-into-your-linux-system-without-xdm-gdm-kdm-etc/ [15:48] is that in the ubuntu repos? [15:48] So I could apt-get slim and configure that to autologin into fluxbox? [15:48] ActionParsnip: lol... [15:48] allowoverride: ? [15:49] OMG That is what I needed! [15:49] Printing! [15:49] Battlecat: fluxbuntu uses both as default [15:49] ActionParsnip: oh, i like the link you found [15:49] Once this is setup it stays inside my arcade cabinet. [15:49] Good ol duckduckgo [15:50] I collect Arcade machines but one of the machines I have is just a shell and that is where MAME comes in.

[15:54] I like simple and repetative. Kind of like my job. [15:54] Battlecat: A Mind Forever Voyaging was greatness back then [15:54] anyone know why dd would be getting progressively slower? [15:54] Battlecat: do you have a wii? those original games are available. i just got dragon's lair lol [15:54] Battlecat: sounds like my sexlife [15:54] Boom! [15:54] allowoverride I have the Dragons laid DVD set. [15:55] guys u see what im typing?

[15:55] and… I have the original Dragons lair DVD from the arcade machine framed on my game room wall. [15:55] Dragons lair works great on linux. [15:55] urthmove1: put it in a directory that is in your path [15:55] urthmove1: put it in your PATH [15:55] Battlecat: lol wow, cool. so i can build a mame box and use it there? [15:55] it was a laserdisc and it was big back then. [15:56] save me! [15:56] odd I put it as a ln -s in /usr/bin but it still doesn't maybe I need to restart my terminal === harry is now known as Guest44802 [15:56] brb [15:56] Dragons lair and all the laserdisc games use a free GNU emu called Daphne. It works great on my machine. [15:56] Battlecat: maybe take this to #ubuntu-offtopic as it's moved beyond support discussion [15:57] your right [15:58] Thanks for the help! Any idea what the whole white screen issue is about? I have to currently type startx without being able to see anything I type. [15:59] Battlecat: so to load daphne, i can load from repos? and then what hardware is needed for the dvd to run, just /dev/cdrom? [15:59] and then autolog in. right?

Just run the command I've PMed to you, then [16:39] hi guys, im migrating from fedora, and this environment path is confusing me [16:39] im trying to set it in my profile [16:39] which file do i modify? [16:40] TheLegace: $PATH? [16:40] TheLegace: .bashrc is probably the best place [16:40] theadmin no but I need to make ultra sure it is not on. [16:40] now i see a whole buncha if statements [16:40] Onryo: By default, it is not. [16:41] to do an export PATH_VAR= /path [16:41] do i just write it in the file? [16:41] TheLegace: export PATH=/home/you/bin:$PATH # Something like this [16:42] theadmin, PATH is not in the bashrc file [16:42] I tried to install beta2 to see if I could fix my pulseaudio(won't start) and it isn't showing my raid devices! It asks if I'd like to enable them, just before the partitioner, but they aren't listed with my partitions. [16:42] TheLegace: So? It just reads the default values set wherever. You can just add that line and be fine [16:42] or do i just do it on command line [16:42] okie thats good [16:43] Seven_Six_Two: 11.10 support is in #ubuntu+1 [16:43] Why wouldnt an enviroment variable set in .profile be available?

I want to install ODBC drivers for ORACLE [16:46] if im installing kubuntu should i choose gdm or kdm? [16:46] how can I tell apt to change architecutures and reinstall packages appropriately?

[17:05] alkafoo: ya im reading bash_profile is only read once per login [17:05] sarkis: source ~/.bash_profile [17:06] hi all, please i did install open-cobol in my unbuntu 11.04 but i dont know where is the application. any help please? [17:06] clouder, do you have a linux install already there or was there on the HD? [17:06] sarkis: .bash_profile is only read when bash is invoked as login-shell [17:06] Guest9968: dpkg -L open-cobol | grep bin [17:06] Guys, is there any way to get rid of this? http://i.imgur.com/iI6Q9.png [17:06] thx [17:06] Hello all- I'm running 11.04 and trying to use a USB to serial adapter- if I do a lsusb I see a ttyS0 and a ttyUSB0, so I know it's recognizing the unit. However if I try and run putty with it, it gets denied (I've tried both) Any assistance is appreciated. [17:07] I think I'm looking at this wrong, is there a terminal command to move the current window? (or one to close, minimise or maximise it) [17:07] obx: floating scrollbars, yes [17:07] they are kind of annoying tbh [17:07] obx: http://mikebeach.org/2011/05/disable-the-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu-natty/ maybe [17:07] thx [17:07] I can see how they would be [17:07] llutz: interesting.. byobu for some reason appended . $(which byobu-launch) at the end of .bash_profile [17:07] that should go in .bashrc instead then [17:07] hi to all [17:08] it wouldn't be so bad but my touchpad is so sensitive that it makes scrolling a huge pain [17:08] Ellipsis753: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts [17:08] i just now install ubuntu 10.04 [17:08] its so nice! [17:08] obx: can probably configure that, but =) [17:08] musharraf: +) [17:09] How can I find out what is the default version of python on ubuntu 10? [17:09] yeah i don't remember how to configure my synaptic touchpad and honestly i remember it being a huge pain [17:09] im so happy to install it. [17:09] easylancer: python -V [17:10] i think i got it to where it doesn't randomly do things when i type, but i'm not sure [17:10] obx: I guess if it only bothers you when combined with this... [17:10] I feel like a damn usb to serial port should just work :| [17:10] SIFTU, I accidentally installed another version of python and the original seem to be corrupted, is there a way to rollback? [17:10] obx: you should be able to setup a shortcut for disabling it for long typing sessions [17:10] i think that's what i did iirc [17:10] easylancer: accidentally how? [17:11] this is my third reinstall of ubuntu in a couple days because i half hazardly just start doing things [17:11] nieros, what is the problem ( just got here) serial to usb adapter? [17:11] I was trying to install MySQL-python and it seemed to install a version of python with it [17:11] easylancer: what version are you running? [17:11] commands like easy_install and pip which were working before are now missing [17:12] SIFTU, python 2.7.1+ [17:12] hello, did sbdy succeded instaling BCM4312 wifi card? [17:12] One more question, does evolution have a minimize to somewhere else and not in the lower bar option? [17:12] easylancer: nothin wrong with that version.. what version do you need [17:13] skrite: I can grep it out of dmesg, and see it with lsusb: but (ttys0/ttyusb0) both don't work when I try and use a console emulator. [17:13] which are the two interfaces showing up [17:13] SIFTU, I just need easy_install working again really [17:13] how I can do for ls -R to print also the full path (because Im doing a grep and I cant see the dirs) [17:13] zaxon, shouldn't that install with restricted hardware? i've got a broadcom wifi card and it showed up right away [17:13] alkafoo, thank you but I need terminal commands rather than keyboard shortcuts for closing windows etc. [17:13] i could be mistaken of course [17:14] obx, i did installed it, but: the card is seeing WIFI but wont connect to ANY [17:14] nieros, on my server, i have to give ownership to my user each time i reboot or i cannot use them in my software [17:14] SIFTU, how do I change the default version of python also, I am sure the version that came with Ubuntu 10 was python 2.6 [17:14] I would like to revert back to that [17:14] easylancer: hard to tell without more specifics, but python looks fine if you are running 2.7, maybe you need to install some modules [17:14] hrm [17:15] hmm. [17:15] easylancer: do you have python2.6 in /usr/bin [17:15] Ellipsis753: oh? Why's that? [17:15] SIFTU, yes I do [17:17] easylancer: and ls -la /usr/bin/python is a sym link to pythion2.7 [17:17] easylancer: ? [17:17] alkafoo, I'd like to have buttons on the top bar to do those things, I can't think of another way and it's not just me that uses the computer, I'd like to have a way to do those things without using the keyboard. It's not just me that uses the computer and I know at least one of the other uses downright refuses to use keyboard commands. [17:17] obx, any idea? how to diagnose whats wrong? [17:17] how do you file a bug at launchpad? [17:17] SIFTU, yes thats correct [17:17] easylancer: so you can just change that symlink [17:17] If i enable ufw don't i have to reboot before it starts? [17:17] SIFTU, I will try that [17:17] Ellipsis753: buttons... there should already be buttons at the top of each window for that [17:18] No, I would see if you can get wired. See if the hardware is activated and check the forums. I know every now and again my wireless card drivers will install WITH the system, and others I have to be connected via ethernet to do it. [17:19] alkafoo, I'd like buttons on the bar at the top, I've removed the standard bar for that. Are you deliberately being silly here? [17:20] does ubuntu support radeon hd 6500? [17:20] obx, so you didnt use ndiswrapper, or CLI with b43-installer or fwcutter? [17:22] i have an intel i3 with intel grafic chipset - when i try to start the live stick i get the bootloader (not the purpel GUI) and when i choose an option the screen turns black and nothing happens [17:22] Ellipsis753: nope, I just don't read minds on Wednesday [17:22] no, mine just installed with restricted hardware. is this a dell computer? i know i've had problems and had to use ndiswrapper in the past [17:23] !lamp [17:23] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:23] obx, no its Lenovo G550, with ndiswrapper it looks like its installed, but saw no WIFIs, with b43 module its seeing WIFIs but refuse to connect to ANY [17:23] I am trying to get my university VPN working. I installed vpnc and the network manager thing, imported the .prf file and the connect fails immideatly "because there is no valid PSK" [17:23] what is going on there? === prasenjeetp_ is now known as prasenjeetp [17:24] when doing dd to copy my system to an external HD, does it also copy the empty space?? [17:25] tiago: yup [17:25] Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in GDM? [17:25] alkafoo, ok, sorry, Just that I'd already explained it in further detail further up and the pointing out that windows had a X in the top right thing made me wonder. Thanks anyway. [17:25] tiago: not much point dd'ing an open source OS [17:25] tiago: yes it is a block level copy (exact) [17:25] alkafoo: is this copying faster though?, [17:25] tiago: it's much more useful for Windows, which by default attempts to bind itself to the hardware in odd ways [17:25] Ellipsis753: right [17:25] and would making an image of system overcome this problem? [17:26] Ellipsis753: short of some built-in cute way, you can probably manage it with a script and wmctrl or devilspie [17:26] i really wish i could be more help man, i would definitely go to the forums and see if there's anything you can conjure up there. [17:27] ok thank you. [17:27] Can anyone help me disable the magnifier in login screen? [17:29] is it possible to make a guest account without a password. mainly for just web browsing [17:29] Ellipsis753: xprop can tell you the ACTIVE window, couple that with wmctrl [17:29] Hi all, activated the magnifying glass here and I can only see half the screen [17:29] Or what is the best and "safest" way to do it [17:29] There is some shortcut to turn off the magnifying glass === Xano_ is now known as Xano [17:31] slipttees, Shift+WinKey+ScrollOut mayby?

When I hit the select and install software part if i check ubuntu desktop i get an install failed message. Anyone know why? [17:44] actually, strangely, i can still click icons on it; it just doesn't visually appear [17:45] WilGil: posting the message would probably help [17:45] one sec [17:45] how does this ufw work. I enable it and didnt reboot or anything after it but after 2hours it suddenly kills my ssh connection. Why didnt it kill it the moment i enabled it? [17:45] honeybee, try: sudo mount /dev/sr0 -t iso9660 /media/folder_that_exist [17:46] zaxonspox: :) OK [17:46] When I run 'aptitude upgrade' it gives a rather long 'changes' report. Is it vital to read ALL of this before I continue or can I treat it like a disclaimer? [17:47] what package has bash completion? [17:47] (I should have tried that) ..... It now says mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 [17:48] honeybee, it looks like blank CD, did you open some burning soft to check that? [17:48] Why when I unzip files that come from another persons computer, that are 755, they turn into 700. How can I stop that? [17:48] zaxonspox: Its a DVD video. I will try something with a file system [17:48] Ok, when installing i get a dialog box with the title "[!!] Select and install software". Inside the box it says "Installation step failed.

I have tried with the cd and a usb [17:55] I also tried on another machine in virtualbox like that thread suggested and had the same problem. I have been working on this for 2 days and am starting to think there is a problem with the alt install image. [17:55] WilGil, try to do MD5SUM on the downloaded ISO to check if its correct [17:55] I'm only pulling 4 kbps when updating... shouldn't I automatically be bumped to the closest/fastest mirror?

[18:01] inc0: yes [18:01] how can I fix this? http://pastebin.com/9RCae1JP [18:01] downgrading is not something Debian distros "support" =) [18:01] but obviously it can be done with a certain amount of effort and knowhow [18:02] usually a lot more than just reinstalling [18:04] ok I have an mp3 player.. and when I plug it into my pc it only detects about 50% of the time.. why might that be? [18:05] Is there a utility for monitoring disk reads / drive access bundled with Ubuntu? [18:05] but also as a seperate question... when I do get it to detect what application can I use to sync music to it? [18:06] is there a way to back up my install's current state and restore it on another machine? [18:06] for windows I use windwos media player.. [18:06] banshee doesnt work [18:06] hey guys, I have a VM running ubuntu and a shared folder setup to my working copy of my SVN. On my Ubuntu VM, /path/to/root is the document root for apache2, and /mnt/hgfs/SVN is the path to my working copy. If I want these 2 directories to mirror each other, what is my best bet? [18:06] I can see the mp3 player appear in banshee for a moment then it vanishes.. [18:08] hey guys, I am new to ubuntu and I cant get my wifi connection(it says firmware missing). I googled and found that we have to connect an ethernet cable and then click on additional drivers but the problem is I dont have a cable.Is there another way??? [18:09] kjp_1212: So you are trying to establish a wireless connection? [18:09] kjp_1212: not an easier way, but you could put the software on a cd or usb [18:09] happyface: yes, but usually just backing up ~/ (which includes all your personal configurations and personal data) and a list of what packages you installed is enough [18:09] happyface: the OS files themselves area already mirrored in thousands of places [18:09] kjp_1212: What is your wireless device? (make and model) (lspci) [18:10] alkafoo, alright, I essentially want to move a real install to a VMWare instance [18:10] The bind9 package is used by many packages or only needed for DNS servers? [18:10] happyface: ah, there're instructions for that online [18:10] alkafoo, really? hmm ill look harder then thanks [18:10] hi everyone i wonder if there is a linux portable anti virus i can use with a ubuntu pen drive? [18:10] happyface: I mean you can convert to RAW or something and then dd to a partition, something like that [18:10] kjp_1212: In other words, what does lspci say about your wifi device? [18:10] happyface: you can also just do a network copy with rsync or ... well even cp [18:10] alkafoo, that's always an option [18:11] anyone seen an install that can't properly reboot a system? [18:11] So, i've checked my umask, and it's supposed to be setting new directories to 755, but it's setting them to 700? Any ideas. [18:11] in my etc/profile, it's 022, which is correct. [18:11] hi, i have an eeepc 701 where i freshly installed xubuntu. the eeepc has a sdcard slot. inserting a 2gb generic card is no problem, it gets mounted automatically. But inserting a 16gb card from Transcend, doesnt get mounted automatically [18:11] so when it gets to the point where the system should shut down, it just hangs?

[18:16] dirtycookie: Must be defective [18:16] usr13: what is the AV?... i dont need the other stuff [18:17] usr13: impossible because i bought it today and i formated it on a windows machine, copied files onto it from a windows machine [18:17] ops, I found out [18:17] it was enabled 'separate layout for each window" flag ;) [18:17] varnie: what window manager are you using? [18:18] gnome [18:18] lauratika: It downloads current virus definitions at the time you use it, and that is the only effective way. (It ops for a couple, I think McAffe and AVG, I always just use AGV). But this discussion is clearly OT [18:20] dirtycookie: Why did you format it? Wasnt' it already formatted? What filesystem did you format to? [18:20] dirtycookie: What filesystem did you install on it? [18:20] system->preferences->layouts-> switch off 'separate layout for each window' [18:20] usr13: i formated it to fat32 [18:20] how can I test to see if my system can beep?

[18:23] alkafoo: I think cypha is wanting to hear the MB beep, (not the sound chip). [18:23] yeah I know [18:23] but people use that because they don't realize they can use mplayer =P [18:23] it should give me 1-10MB it only gives me 20-80kB [18:23] cypha: Hold down a key like maybe delete or escape key while booting. [18:24] or one of the F keys [18:24] or echo -e "\a" [18:25] no sound for echo -e "\a" [18:25] what application can I use to sync music to an mp4 player? [18:25] banshee doesnt work.. [18:25] lucky you [18:25] Kingsy: which mp4 player? [18:25] Does updatedb just update a list of installed packages or is there more to it? [18:25] Kingsy: Your file manager. [18:25] skegeek: no [18:26] skegeek: it doesn't do that, it makes a database of file names/paths on your box [18:26] skegeek: if you want something that doesn't rely on a database, use find [18:26] skegeek: The whole filesystem [18:26] skegeek: if you want package info, use dpkg or aptitude [18:26] skegeek: or apt-get [18:28] usr13: nautilus wouldnt work.. it needs to be "synced" [18:28] if you just copy the files then the mp3 player says "no media" under music [18:28] skegeek: If you want to see what you have installed, do ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list [18:29] alkafoo: its a samsung YP-K5 [18:29] i will wipe a hard drive that has windows 7 right now, but want a dual boots with ubunutu...which one should i install first?... windows or linux [18:29] alkafoo: its just an mp3 player [18:29] Kingsy: It will if you reboot it. [18:29] laurtika: windows 7 [18:29] Windows 7 [18:29] usr13: nope [18:30] usr13: it says "no file" [18:30] it needs to be "synced" [18:30] lauratika: installing Windows first will save you a little time [18:30] Kingsy: I don't know what your problem is but I've done it plenty of times on several mp3 players and works just fine. [18:31] It will sync when it is re-started [18:31] banshee seems to detect it but then it vanishes from the list on the left hand side after a second or so [18:31] I can still see it in nautilus tho [18:31] lauratika: Windows and Linux both have their own boot loaders; if you install Ubuntu second, it should auto-configure to list both OSes at bootup; if you install Windows second, you have to go back and reconfigure manually [18:31] usr13: what do you mean? I have restarted the mp3 player.. [18:32] Kingsy: Well, either the files are there or they are not. [18:32] alkafoo: so windows first will be, thanx [18:32] what kind of mp3 player is it? [18:33] usr13: its a samsung YP-K5 [18:35] Kingsy: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22yp-k5%22%20%22linux%22 [18:37] any way to get my system beeps working?

[18:58] jexmex: Where do you see "SYSTEM RESERVE"? [18:58] Anarchy7: q [18:58] sidebar in the listings of Computer, it says GB Hard Disk: SYSTEM RESERVED [18:59] thats the drive windows is on, but all that is in there is boot folder and System Volume Information [18:59] jexmex: So, which partition is that? [18:59] should be c: drive [18:59] jexmex: So, which partition is that? [19:00] not following, sorry [19:00] jexmex: sudo fdisk -l [19:00] jexmex: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit [19:00] and send resulting URL, we'll have a look [19:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/698659/ [19:01] jexmex: mount #See if it mounted now. === ErikT is now known as Erik_T [19:01] Is there like a website where I can find lots of nice little widget things for the bar at the top?

[19:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/698660/ [19:04] i like that pastebinit program [19:05] jexmex: I see that you have /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdf1 & /dev/sdf2 mounted. What I do not see, are any Linux partitions. Are you booting to a LiveCD? Or what? And what exactly are you wanting to do with this system? (What is your end goal?) [19:05] or are you using wubi? [19:06] its installed (I installed from windows installer) [19:06] jexmex: Yea, I like it too. [19:06] jexmex: So it is wubi? [19:06] I just want functioning install, when I did install I did it because my now ex employee said that it would run in windows, but after I did install, he realized it would just install in windows, but then dual boot [19:07] !wubi | jexmex [19:07] jexmex: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [19:07] yeah pretty sure its wubi [19:07] jexmex: If you have a wubi install, I am not the one to help you. I know little if anything about wubi. [19:07] am I better off uninstalling it and do a regular dual boot install? [19:08] jexmex: Yes (IMHO) [19:08] ok I will do that later today, back to windows for me for now :) [19:08] or... not so humble .... [19:08] thanks for all your help though [19:08] does the "free software only" option during installation removes blobs from the kernel? [19:09] icarious: What is a blob? [19:09] Only thing I can associate is a very old SiFi movie. [19:10] usr13: i think he means binary blobs (like firmwares) [19:10] How would I allow all users to update system? [19:10] o [19:10] Just update system, not do anything else admin-related [19:10] Is there a web music player for server ? Similar to transmission web but a music player? [19:10] taza: Include them in admin group [19:11] usr13: No, that's a bad idea [19:11] yup i meant non-free binary blobs [19:11] taza: Alternately add an allowed entry in sudoers file specifically for some command like sudo apt-get upgrade [19:11] taza: What? Allowing them to update the system? Or...? [19:11] Also a bad idea. [19:11] i want a clean blob free system. sticking to Debian cause of it. is there any way i can use a similar environment under ubuntu? [19:12] icarious: No [19:12] taza: ok. [19:12] (Okay fine IIRC there was an ubuntu derivative 100% binary blob free, but can't recall it.) [19:12] taza: So what do you suggest? [19:12] usr13: I don't *know*, but I know that idea is a bad one too. [19:13] X-warrior, i think mpd is not 100% sure [19:13] taza: i guess you are talking about trisquel. but its not official [19:13] taza: Well, I guess it depends on what you consider good or bad. Why don't YOU just do the updates? [19:13] is it possible that things in /tmp are automaticlly get removed ?? [19:13] Gentoo64, thanks will take a look [19:13] usr13: Would you stop asking me questions about why and help with the how? [19:13] i put some things there but nowhere to find now [19:13] hi [19:14] taza: I suppose you could use a cron job to do it once in a while. Set up some sort of schedule? [19:14] icarious: Yeah, no official way to do it IIRC. Debian's fine if you're skilled enough to care. [19:14] taza: What version of Ubuntu is it? [19:14] usr13: 11.04 [19:14] taza: ya i guess so . they recently switched to blob-free since squeeze. anyways thanks mates [19:15] how do I see what architecture my Ubuntu is? e.g. x86 [19:15] icarious, why do you want this? for the sake of being 100% open? [19:15] taza: Is a cron job acceptable? [19:15] Smilex, uname [19:15] i have done a search in linux for something my first search gave 190 results my second only 196 [19:16] how can i determine the 6 that were not found in the second search [19:16] GOMI, it just says 'Linux' [19:16] Smilex: uname -i [19:16] Smilex, uname -a [19:16] usr13: *sigh* No. [19:16] or how can i output to a txt file and compare to tiles and find the ones that are different between the two [19:16] Gentoo64: yes, and plus you are forced to trust vendors not to put backdoors and spyware into the blobs. dont wanna do that. [19:16] ok, not to sound too stupid, what does x86_64 [19:16] Smilex: 64 bit [19:16] icarious, depends what blobs. i trust nvidia [19:17] Gentoo64: i trust nouveau :P [19:17] genii-around, and all this time I've been thinking it's 32bit. Thanks all anyway [19:17] nvidia is too fast to compare though [19:17] blobs arent bad... [19:17] theyre blobs for a reason [19:17] does the /tmp folder automatically empty it files , because i know for sure i put some things there .... [19:17] taza: Well, if you werent opposed to giving some details about the system, we could probably give you more specific advise. Why is it you can't do it from time to time. You could use teamviewer and have them call you once a month or so and you could do it. [19:18] Gentoo64: i am having same performance with DRI under nouveau as i did with nvidia-glx once. 120-125 fps for a game called urban terror [19:18] usr13: QUIT TRYING TO HELP ME WHEN YOU HAVE BARELY ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO WIPE YOUR ASS [19:18] old card? [19:18] GOMI: I think /tmp is cleaned on a reboot [19:18] icarious, ^ [19:18] Gentoo64: 9400 GT, [19:18] !attitude | taza [19:18] taza: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [19:18] i dont believe you lol [19:18] CoffeeIV, for real -_-!) ....that sucks [19:18] no way is nouveau anywhere near as fast, never will be [19:19] im on nouveau now [19:19] taza: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates [19:19] Gentoo64: its true. under debian testing with libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental installed along with nouveau [19:19] ok whatever [19:19] I won't have ACCESS to the hardware, and it's a kiosk machine. [19:19] taza: You are an idiot if you think you are going to get any more help from this channel. I think you need to change your attitude. I assure you that you are now on my ignore list. [19:20] that made me to switch. even i was using the proprietary nvidia till last week. things are working fine. [19:21] i use nouveau on my hardened desktop (which i would never use blobs) and i miss vdpau and the speed. nouveau does seem to strangely have a better image quality though [19:21] I still use proprietary nvidia, but then again, I like a little gaming [19:21] CoffeeIV, is it possible to get things back or is that the end ? [19:21] mplayer2 tears with nouveau, dont with vdpau [19:22] Gentoo64: a few minor glitches are there i agree. but its workable . and 3d gaming performance is pretty good. so its fine with me.anyways i guess this is offtopic here . cause i am not a ubuntu guy :P [19:22] me neither, but were not talking about distros [19:22] :) [19:22] :P [19:23] we are having blob wars haha. yes you do need nvidia-settings. specially for dualhead [19:23] can someone please help me? I am getting this error : http://pastebin.com/1gjHzqV5 after following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle [19:23] ah idk i dont use dual, or nvidia settings. nouveau is improving though a lot of work goes into it [19:23] I get the error after runnig sudo pecl install oci8 [19:25] i had dualhead before. with nvidia-settings i could configure both of the displays to spawn two different x screens. with nouveau i couldnt . [19:25] anyone please? [19:26] GOMI: if you rebooted and lost data in /tmp , it is probably the end. However, if it is worth it to you to spend some time for a small chance at getting all the files back but without their original file names, then turn off the computer now, and do some research on finding a live CD with forensic tools on it that you can use to examine the disk [19:27] GOMI, it empties on boot, so i think if you havent rebooted go into a livecd and they could be there still [19:27] GOMI: it's possible, but it might not be worth it. It's not rocket science, but for a lot of new linux people, booting a live CD and scaning disk images and such would be the most advanced thing they'd ever done [19:30] * conntrack- chuckles [19:31] * alkafoo chuckles louder [19:31] will ever ubuntu support games like GTA 4, Portal 2, Black-Ops or type-like?

[19:40] ubuntu natty is on a desktop [19:40] -.- [19:40] i always troubleshoot network issues by pinging things [19:40] so ifconfig [19:40] Ghostx562: Are you using the GUI, or did you make changes to /etc/network/interfaces? [19:41] ping localhost. if localhost responds network most likely works [19:41] using GUI, i restarted my pc and now network won't connect [19:41] jcpham, just pinged localhost [19:41] I've updated /etc/adduser.conf to have the users' HOME under /srv/www, the directory and the user's own directory exists (I've checked), but when I do su - user, I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/. why? [19:41] then ping your gateway [19:42] then try to ping something public like 208.67.222.222 [19:42] Ghostx562: when you do the ifconfig, do you have an IP? [19:42] its still popping up on terminal saying 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_req## ttl=64 time=0.055 ms [19:42] ctrl c [19:43] for inet address it shows 127.0.0.1 [19:43] and mask 255.0.0.0 [19:43] thats lo [19:43] no eth0 [19:44] eth0 doesn't show an IP [19:44] lower than lo =P [19:44] who knows the dhclient command to release and renew? [19:45] Ghostx562: do you have connectivity lights on the ethernet? [19:45] dhclient -k I think [19:45] sunice, not on my router, it isn't flashing [19:45] jcpham: ifup ifdow [19:45] sounds like a hardware problem or dhcp [19:45] nor on the back [19:45] jcpham: ifdown eth0 [19:46] ifdown: faild to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: permission denied [19:46] Ghostx562, see sunice's comments on ways to release/renew enable/diasable [19:46] sudo?

[19:49] jcpham, i get auto eth0 [19:49] I'd verify the NIC has a link light [19:49] iface eth0 inet dhcp [19:49] auto eth0 is dhcp [19:49] yeah that's normal [19:49] which process or package is it that monitors the link state of my NIC and executes DHCP requests when a cable is connected? [19:50] jcp, yep green light and a yellow one [19:50] brunner: that will be done through gnome-network-manager normally [19:50] I've updated /etc/adduser.conf to have the users' HOME under /srv/www, the directory and the user's own directory exists (I've checked), but when I do su - user, I get No directory, logging in with HOME=/. why? [19:50] ikonia: got it. so if I have a system that doesn't have X installed, it won't do that, correct? [19:50] so you have a link. check [19:50] localhost responds to pings [19:51] brunner: depends if you configure it through /etc/network/interfaces, if you don't, no, it won't [19:51] try to ping the gateway? [19:51] but eth0 is nowhere to be seen [19:51] yeah [19:51] gateway is 192.168.1.1 right? [19:51] ifconfig and tell me [19:51] Kartagis: grep $username /etc/passwd and lets see the restuls (it contains no password inforamtion) [19:52] jcp, i get Connect: Network is unreachable [19:52] ikonia: I want it to act the way gnome-network-manager does, where it does a DHCP request any time a cable is plugged in [19:52] ikonia: vetbbc.com:x:1000:100:BBC Veteriner Klinigi,,,:/srv/www/vetbbc.com:/bin/bash [19:52] dmesg |grep eth0 [19:52] Kartagis: ok, so that's all set spot on, look at the permissions on the home dir as I suspect that's the issue [19:53] brunner: if you configure it in the /etc/network/interfaces file, it will [19:53] ikonia: 600, maybe that's why? [19:53] afeijo: rm -rf -- -files [19:53] Kartagis: is the user the owner ? [19:53] ikonia: okay, because I thought turning on dhcp via the interfaces file would just cause it to do a DHCP request when the machine is turned on [19:53] Kartagis: (and look at the permissions on /srv and /srv/www as the user needs to be able to get into them to see his home dir [19:53] ikonia: yes [19:53] brunner: well, it will, but the cables not plugged in, so it will keep going [19:54] Kartagis: if you su - $user [19:54] soreau, now my friend said he need to access that folder, is that possible? [19:54] Kartagis: can you then cd into the home dir ? [19:54] jcpham, use pastebin for outcome? [19:54] cd -- -files worked [19:54] thanks soreau !! [19:54] sure === rochild is now known as Sarayu [19:55] afeijo: The special option -- means "end of options" to every POSIX command except echo and test. E.g., mv -- *.png /somedir # see also http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/dict/terms/end_of_options [19:55] ikonia: permission denied [19:55] Kartagis: we have a winner ! [19:55] ikonia: but you're saying there's a way to configure the interfaces file to do a dhcp request each time a cable is plugged in? [19:55] ikonia: /srv/ and /srv/www are botb 755 [19:55] brunner: it will do that automatically [19:55] both* [19:55] brunner: if you configure it in /etc/network/interfaces, it will do it [19:55] Kartagis: ls -la /srv (pastebin please) [19:56] jcpham, http://paste.ubuntu.com/698697/ [19:56] that looks like ahardware problem or dhcp problem to me [19:56] i'm looking [19:56] when I'm shutting down it fails... is there a log file of the messages from shutting down? I want to know where it stops/hangs at [19:57] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/QbNaKSrE [19:57] jcpham, rebooting router now [19:57] ikonia: got it, thanks [19:57] Anyone have a second opinion on Ghostx562's paste above? [19:57] jcpham, this happened after removing moblock [19:57] ikonia: is there a special command to make it behave that way? [19:58] i'm googling what moblock is ;p [19:58] brunner: no [19:58] jcpham, got it workign [19:58] working* [19:58] yay [19:58] Kartagis: ls -la /srv/www [19:58] seems it needed a router reset [19:58] gonna ping an ip now [19:58] go figure :) [19:58] ikonia: so "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" will do the trick? [19:59] brunner: looks spot on [19:59] ikonia: drwx------ 3 vetbbc.com users 4096 Sep 28 23:57 vetbbc.com [19:59] I'm guessing 600 was the problem [19:59] Kartagis: no [20:00] Kartagis: can you run "id" on the user vetbbc.com [20:00] Kartagis: 600 is a good permission [20:00] jcpham, thanks when you said hardware i just unplugged my router and it worked again [20:00] ikonia: awesome. thanks so much :D [20:00] ikonia: uid=1000(vetbbc.com) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) [20:00] Ghostx562 you can now troubleshoot a debin network problem! [20:00] Kartagis: that should be fine [20:00] Kartagis: can the user get into /srv ? [20:00] the only other issue would have been if you had NO eth0 and that would've most likely been a driver issue [20:01] jcpham, i hope so [20:01] ikonia: yes, and /srv/www too. 700 fixed it though [20:02] Kartagis: why do you need write access ? [20:02] Kartagis: most odd [20:02] Kartagis: glad your fixed [20:02] ikonia: thanks [20:03] hi anybody programming in prolog ? have question [20:04] staff_nowa: no, this is ubuntu support, not prolog [20:04] how do i run a binary file that opens default in gedit? [20:04] is there a command? [20:04] nn: right clic-properties-run as program [20:05] i dont see that option anywhere [20:06] anyone know anything about waf? im trying to install/compile some python scripts and im totally lost [20:06] hey guys I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04, I downloaded the image from the website a few times and burned them onto the ct, but I was unable to install it from the reboot [20:06] so I ended up downloading a torrent taht someone told me would work [20:06] and it did install but I didn't know it was ubuntu server [20:07] can I still use the regular ubuntu with the GUI from there? [20:07] deadpool: Just install package ubuntu-desktop [20:07] ikonia: how do I fix http://pastebin.com/cj1nyvSV ? [20:07] where do I do that [20:07] Kartagis: they are just warnings, [20:07] ikonia: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure locales [20:07] Kartagis: it's shell parameters, not system [20:08] Kartagis: are they causing you a problem ? [20:08] deadpool: eg: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:08] ikonia: I don't to get them [20:08] want to* [20:08] oh ok thanks geniil, I am switching from windows to ubuntu [20:08] ikonia do you ever sleep ;) [20:09] Kartagis: sorry what ? [20:09] paulus68: sometimes [20:09] ikonia: I don't want to get them [20:09] Kartagis: why ? are they causing you problems ? [20:09] Kartagis: they are just warnings [20:09] ikonia: most of the time when I am connecting you are wondering arround to oops that's just indicating that I don't sleep much either :) [20:10] ikonia: I didn't receive them before, and I'm afraid they might cause trouble in the future [20:10] Kartagis: they shouldn't do, hence them being warnings [20:11] 'bash: ./waf no such file or directory' [20:11] how would i install waf [20:11] nn: what do the instructions say [20:11] yeah i dont understand the majority of the instructions actually [20:11] hai guyz. [20:12] nn: what does it actually say to do [20:12] I need a little help, I'm a freebsd user and I've had some concerns about this ubuntu box. [20:12] It's not making sense. [20:12] Ep1kMalware: just ask [20:13] it's mounted on sda3, sda2, sda1, sda0 and hda* don't exist. [20:13] and it's making editing fstab a complete mess. [20:13] Ep1kMalware: Ubuntu uses libata which makes all drives appear as sdX [20:13] Ep1kMalware: that's fine, hdX doesn't exist any more due to libata, and sda0 is never a device, it starts at 1 [20:13] genii-around: I've done the same modifaction only last week and / was mounted on /dev/hda0 [20:14] wtf === dream is now known as fdsadsa [20:14] why does it start at 1?

[21:18] miadbahrami: search telecomix or go to telecomix.org [21:18] hello no one talks any more :( [21:18] miadbahrami: What is 'ppk'? [21:18] edwardpatch: This channel is for support only. If you want to chat, theres #ubuntu-offtopic. [21:19] ugh i ./waf install the updated lv2 but the modversion still shows 3.0 [21:20] nn: try removing lv2core package first? [21:20] ok [21:21] well then, lets give this a shot, is there a way to make text in xournal searchable? [21:22] How can I save my window positions for each boot? (using gnome, no unity) [21:23] StryKaizer: About the best thing you can do is set windows to open in the same place each time === Shadows`sleep is now known as SoulShadow [21:24] i love fax [21:24] edwardpatch: What does this have to do with ubuntu? [21:25] soreau, is this by rightclicking the titlebar and clicking "Always on visible workspace", or is there another setting for that? [21:25] soreau, nvm, its defenitly somethign else :) [21:25] What's the easiest way to disable PulseAudio? [21:25] StryKaizer: If you use compiz, you can set fixed positions in ccsm>Place Windows plugin [21:25] Hello! I've DVD Video ( 4,2gb) i want compress to AVI (Xvid od DivX) to abount 990mb. How to? or any gui program?. [21:25] zilly: service pulseaudio stop? [21:26] soreau, thanks! [21:26] nn52 VLC will do it [21:26] VCL Player? [21:26] hmm [21:26] zilly: That will only stop it, to disable it completely you probably want to uninstall it [21:26] soreau, thx, installing ccsm now [21:26] RobbieCrash: VLC Plater? [21:27] yer* [21:27] soreau, do you know if gpac installs PulseAudio? My sound was working fine and then I installed gpac and now it doesn't work at all. I think this is the reason why, but I'm not sure. [21:27] nn52, yes: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=34459#p132397 [21:28] zilly: pulseaudio is installed by default so I doubt that'd be it.. [21:28] ok i went through all the ./waf installation for lv2 but it says lv2core not found on the modversion [21:28] nn52 The page is talking about Mac and PC, but it's essentially the same, just substitute Ubuntu paths [21:28] soreau, oh, darn. Thanks. [21:28] zilly: Try checking alsamixer thoroughly. Arrow keys to navigate, 'm' to (un)mute channels and F6 to switch devices [21:29] soreau, how would I tell if my sound driver is no longer working? [21:30] zilly: The driver wont just quit working if it did in the past.. check the output of 'lsmod|grep snd' to see the audio modules (drivers) loaded [21:31] zilly: Try 'aplay -l' to list sound devices detected [21:31] hi [21:31] isn't there a way to make a usb flash drive appear to be an external hard drive? [21:31] zilly: and scrutinize settings in alsamixer [21:31] Hello. Question: I have domains pointing to an Ubuntu server. My domains are regged at GoDaddy. I want to make it so all mail (catch all) for my domains goes to my Gmail.. DOes anyone know what I should do [21:32] Oh yeah, and my DNS is at he.net [21:33] soraeu, well, the default in alsamixer has s/pdif and it's set at 00 with no slider. The other one is my sound card and has the right settings (I think). [21:33] Euvius: Forward the emial? [21:34] soreau , yes , to my Gmail [21:34] what does it mean when i boot my PC but the grub loads instead of the OS as before? [21:34] ok sometimes my nm-applet from network manager looks alittle funny in kde because i hate wicd and i have figured out that doing a "sudo killall nm-applet" then "nm-applet" will fix the issue and am trying to make a bash script but when it gets to the "nm-applet" command i have a konsole window that i cant close is there any way to make nm-applet start in the script with out having the terminal open? [21:34] Euvius: Forward the emial. [21:34] soreau yes, I dont know how [21:34] Euvius: That is really beyond the scope of this channel since your servers email is not directly related to ubuntu [21:35] ok, thanks [21:35] tacomaster: killall nm-applet && nm-applet & [21:37] I'm trying to install my ATI drivers but it's failing to generate the installer package, it's reporting error 127 but I can't seem to find what that means. (I've never used ubuntu before and my experience with linux is extemely limited.) What does that error mean, and whats the best way to correct it? I'm running the .run file with the sh command. [21:37] soreau, ty so much do you know any good guides to learn bash better? [21:38] tacomaster: There's a plethora on the web. There's also #bash on this network [21:38] VLC not working :P [21:38] mit mean , converting not working [21:38] Hi, folks! [21:38] I never knew KDE looks great until i tried it tonight. Wow, This is what Im sticking with, Someone tell me how I can remove all gnome apps coz I installed KDE ontop of Gnome based ubuntu and not via kubuntu. [21:39] Ryladine: Is there any reason you're trying the .run file and not using jockey-gtk (or just using the default radeon drivers that are installed and working by default)? [21:39] nmvictor: Probably remove gnome-desktop and apt-get autoremove [21:40] I've tried running minecraft and was getting an openGL error, so I went to ATI's site for drivers and thats what it gave me. [21:40] What is the best Wifi N accessory? USB or PCI, matters not. Do I need an antenna seperately purchased? [21:40] Ryladine: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? (after installing mesa-utils package) [21:41] is there a way to switch from internal audio to USB audio from the command line interface? [21:41] Like I said I've never used ubuntu so give me a minute to see if I can find how to install "mesa-utils" [21:41] Wait, why does KDE remind me of windows? [21:41] sburwood1: PCI cards are typically always better. You can use the antenna that comes with the card or purchase one separately if you really need one [21:41] hi, does anyone know how i can 'install' gspca_kinect on my machine? I have kinect working with glview, but i want it to work as a normal webcam so I can use motion with it. I'm completely lost, I thought I downloaded the drivers i need (i.e. gspca_kinect) but I have no clue how to install it? (just a file called kinect.c) [21:41] Hi. [21:41] I'm kinda new here. [21:41] Where do I go for tech support? [21:41] Ryladine: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [21:41] hi [21:42] virgil: Right here. Just ask your question :) [21:42] Okay. I'm a little bit desperate. [21:42] how to install boost 1.4.2.0 in ubuntu ? [21:42] I fail to record my audio output to and mp3 file, I tried parsing arecord to lame but it result is a file with barely audible audio and a huge white noise component [21:42] apt-get install always install the latest version === p0nb1k1 is now known as ponbiki [21:42] I've been trying to get Ubuntu (any distribution) to work with my laptop for a while now. [21:42] virgil, what laptop is it? [21:42] 11.04 and 11.10 beta 2 (the one I'm using right now) have both resulted in screen tearing on horizontal movement. [21:43] MSI A6000 [21:43] snow_ru: install libboost-dev [21:43] Lemme check the model number right quick... [21:43] MS-1683 [21:43] virgil: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'? [21:43] soreau: Ok, found a PCI card that says it is supported Linux (I suppose that means every version, or at least Ubuntu), a DFE 530TX. The question that I have for that card is whether or not I need to buy an antenna and whether it is a "draft N" a N, a N150 or a N300 adapter [21:43] anonissimus, What are you using to record your audio? [21:43] virgil: Screen tearing is almost always a graphics driver issue.. [21:43] virgil: if you have an ubuntu question ask away [21:43] BarkingFish: arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -x -r – out.mp3 [21:43] sudo: lscpi: command not found [21:44] this is what I do [21:44] hi all.. is there a forum for installing ubuntu on MacBook pro? [21:44] Am I in the wrong place for graphics driver issues? [21:44] sburwood1: As I said, most cards some with an antenna already included [21:44] anonissimus, Have you actually tried using a GUI program, like audacity? [21:44] soreau, how to know the version of the installed libboost in the local machine? [21:44] virgil: lspci|grep VGA [21:44] virgil, ok you have a nvidia geforce 8200M G [21:44] BarkingFish: yes same results [21:44] virgil: you typoed [21:44] some of the inputs carry no noise others noise + faint audio part [21:44] When I run glxinfo|grep it outputs usage information, and some information about failed requests [21:44] oops. [21:44] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1) [21:44] virgil, you need to go to terminal and type jockey-gtk and install nvidia drivers [21:45] tacomaster: close, but no cigar ;) [21:45] anonissimus, I do a shedload of audio editing for other organisations, including Wikipedia. Can you upload the audio somewhere on the net and let me hear what your audio is like please? [21:45] virgil: Indeed, use jockey-gtk to install your drivers [21:45] anyone? [21:45] I have, all versions that were available in 11.04 and 11.10. [21:45] BarkingFish: shure [21:45] And the proprietary drivers. [21:45] is there a forum for installing ubuntu on MacBook pro? [21:45] Used nvidia-xconfig each time. [21:45] thank you. I might be able to help you if I can figure out what is going wrong for you, anonissimus [21:46] just a min [21:46] The closest I've gotten is very mild tearing on VLC videos, and mild-to-moderate tearing in flash videos. [21:46] need to rerecord [21:46] virgil: You actually need to install the driver with jockey-gtk [21:46] i was able to install ubuntu on macbook pro but there is no sound [21:46] soreau, what did i say wrong? [21:46] I'm confused. [21:47] virgil, ok you have a nvidia geforce 8200M G (but the output of lspci says) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9200M G] (rev b1) [21:47] Do you mean install the proprietary drivers with jockey-gtk? [21:47] Did you see my response to your questions? [21:47] virgil: yes [21:47] ? [21:47] How do I do that? [21:47] virgil: Type this in your terminal: gksu jockey-gtk [21:47] soreau, ooo i was just telling him with the model he gave me oops :P [21:48] tacomaster: Yea, 'lspci|grep VGA' will tell you for sure what card(s) [21:48] tacomaster: specs aren't always reliably accurate [21:48] I see two options, though both are different from the four options I had when I first installed 11.10 [21:48] virgil: Install the newest one [21:49] Ummm... I can't tell which one's newest. [21:49] virgil: The one with the latest version number.. [21:49] virgil, the one that says recomended [21:49] They're both labeled as 'NVIDIA binary xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library' [21:49] I don't see a version number or 'recommended'. [21:49] BarkingFish: pmed it [21:50] And yeah, I know that lspci sometimes says that I have a Geforce 9200M G card. [21:50] virgil: Anyway, after installing the driver and rebooting, install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable Sync to Vblank in ccsm>General>OpenGL and also enable vsync in nvidia-settings [21:51] virgil: It always says that.. [21:51] Already did that. [21:51] nishttal2 I need more details ,so what version is it [21:51] lspci isn't wishy washy, it gets the info from the hardware [21:51] Hi, I just got a 10.4 installation disk from a friend to install ubuntu as second OS on my PC and it is asking me to login!!! do I have the right disk? [21:51] But I've gotten a response saying 8200m G and 9200m G at different times. [21:51] virgil: You already enabled vblank sync in *both* ccsm *and* nvidia-settings? [21:51] What are the newest minimum requirements for Ubuntu? [21:52] In terms of ram and cpu [21:52] Technically, I don't think there IS a 9200m G card. Just 9200m GS. [21:52] virgil, if "lspci | grep VGA" says 9200 then thats right [21:52] fardad_ say again? ... [21:52] When I run glxinfo|grep it outputs usage information, and some information about failed requests [21:52] Ryladine: You did it wrong [21:52] Ryladine: glxinfo|grep renderer [21:52] Ah, didn't see the last bit of the command [21:53] htlm: thaks for responding, I got and installation disk and booted my computer with it to install ubuntu, but it is askin me to login with a userid and password! [21:53] It doesn't seem like I've done it with this install yet. [21:53] The ccsm thingy. [21:53] Though I did that in 11.04, and it didn't seem to solve anything. [21:53] htlm.. i am running "Linux 2.6.35-30-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 11 20:01:08 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [21:53] virgil: Well nvidia sucks. Go get a radeon [21:54] htlm: do I have the right disk? is this usual? [21:54] Even when I add renderer to the end of it, it still outputs the same thing [21:54] Hi. My internet is down for the next 10days. I've got a neighbours wifi key. Can I connect my desktop(s) (wired) to use my laptops wifi? Any links much appreciated. [21:54] Ryladine: which is? [21:54] do I have udev on 10.04? or am I on hald? [21:54] Ryladine: Use pastebin.com for more than a few lines [21:54] ! who | Ryladine [21:54] Ryladine: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:54] htlm, and hardware is MacBook Pro 4,1 [21:54] bad request, and a couple of opcodes about a failed request, and some serial numbers [21:54] udev it seems, from doing "ls /etc/init.d/ | grep hald" [21:55] I mean, udev [21:55] Odaym: probably both [21:55] What are the minimum requirements for a new Ubuntu install nowadays, in terms of ram and cpu? [21:55] CT1: Just share the connection with network settings gui [21:55] CT1: And get a crossover cable if you don't have a router [21:55] Right... So, only solution is to get a different laptop? [21:55] WaltherFI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#System_requirements [21:56] htlm, are you still around? [21:56] Odaym: are those up to date? [21:56] Is there anyone/any room I can go to for help with this issue? [21:56] ! who | Ryladine [21:56] Ryladine: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:56] check, WaltherFI; I linked you [21:56] I mean, I got the screen tearing to stop in 10.04, but then my wireless card wouldn't work. [21:56] Ryladine: I have trouble seeing your messages if you don't use my nick [21:56] soreau: bad request, and a couple of opcodes about a failed request, and some serial numbers [21:56] soreau: Wow! no config files? no command line, that simple? Thankyou! [21:56] Ryladine: So you've already successfully broke the radeon driver by trying to install fglrx [21:57] can someone tell me why my computer keeps freezing all the time? [21:57] Mix that with taking several months to get feedback on the forums, and my experience with linux hasn't been too pleasant. [21:57] CT1: Yep, it's easy [21:57] abjjdks832: what computer brand/model? [21:57] soreau: from what I can tell it's not even sucessfully managed to finish generating the package to install it atall... Fff I'll just reinstall the OS I suppose... [21:58] SIFTU: IBM T60 [21:58] Ryladine: 1) Run the uninstall script(s) in /usr/share/ati/ 2) Remove fglrx using jockey-gtk 3) Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists 4) Reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri packages 5) Reboot [21:58] Ryladine: 6) Show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer' [21:58] abjjdks832: hmm so an older one [21:58] nishttal2 yes im lookin about ... [21:59] htlm, ok [21:59] I'd really appreciate some explanation or how to diagnose this, because I'm sick of it [21:59] about to go on an anti ubuntu campaign and never use it again, it's ridiculous [21:59] I visit a web page, whole computer freezes [21:59] since when does a userspace process run away and take down teh whole system in linux? [21:59] abjjdks832: Just calm down.. [22:00] Yeah. Still getting screen tearing when I try to play this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRe9ykSfXyQ [22:00] abjjdks832: A system freeze is almost always a problem with a kernel driver module.. most commonly, graphics or wifi [22:00] Also, blip.tv movies seem very choppy. [22:00] abjjdks832: Can you pastebin the output of 'lspci && lsusb && lsmod'? [22:00] abjjdks832: to pastebin.com [22:00] abjjdks832: and you have run memtest for a few hours? [22:00] Sorry yall im helping im still here [22:01] abjjdks832: and yes, you should run memtest overnight and see if it reports any errors [22:01] faulty memory can cause all kinds of strange issues [22:01] uhm [22:02] htlm: thaks for responding, I got and installation disk and booted my computer with it to install ubuntu, but it is askin me to login with a userid and password! [22:02] htlm: do I have the right disk? is this usual? [22:02] ... [22:02] why do those programs not print to stdout? I tried to do all of it and pipe through pastebinit and only lsmod shows up [22:02] abjjdks832 whats you freaking out for ? [22:03] abjjdks832: Because they're actually three separate programs [22:03] soreau: I know that, thanks. [22:03] abjjdks832: Then why did you ask.. [22:03] I guess you can't foo && bar | foobar [22:03] Hi all. Can anyone help me get rid of unity and the launcher, without losing compiz? [22:03] Hi. I want to make a short movie about how to use git with a lot of animated diagrams. What program would you recommend to make/render those animations? (2D strongly preferred, I'd really rather not learn Blender for this.) [22:04] ! classic | JokesOnYou77 [22:04] JokesOnYou77: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". [22:04] anyway, this should be it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/698761/ [22:05] soreau: When I go back to Classic, I loose my desktop cube and other compiz effects, or at least I can't figure out how to make them work [22:05] Any idea when FireFox 7.0 will be available in Synaptic? [22:05] abjjdks832: Have you tried unplugging all usb devices except keyboard and mouse? [22:05] JokesOnYou77: just a guess, but what about alt-F2, and 'compiz --replace' ? [22:06] abjjdks832: That wont work right in a unity session [22:06] soreau: he said he's in classic. [22:06] any way to listen to a socket on the commandline?

[22:17] prob need about 6gb for ubuntu [22:17] !requirements | JamesMiddendorff [22:17] JamesMiddendorff: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [22:17] NaikInsaan: yes, it's under apps > internet. or if you are using unity open menu type 'terminal' [22:18] SIFTU: 18:17:43 up 40 min, anything before that would be when it last froze [22:18] abjjdks832: well there is something of note in there [22:19] SIFTU: praise the FSM .. please share [22:19] abjjdks832: well not sure if it's normal but see all the wifi errors in kern.log [22:20] I remember there was a script for fetching the _real_ url's to podcasts in iTunes. It was a perl script, but I cant find it anymore? Anyone wanna help a poor fellow :) ? [22:20] Hi [22:20] abjjdks832: with the iwl3945 driver [22:20] First off - Ubuntu's behavior of resetting the MOTD after an update, is just annoying. [22:21] I replaced my backup update-motd.d files, removed old motd files, and still I can't get any MOTD [22:21] can someone help me out getting my MOTD updating again? [22:21] how can I disable my touchpad in ubuntu [22:21] Tekin_: have you searched for bugs [22:21] histo: yes [22:21] it's not just /etc/motd ? [22:21] Ubuntu really likes to break standard things :/ [22:21] unfortunately [22:22] it's in update-motd.d [22:22] That's why I no longer use ubuntu [22:22] Guys - I need to handover to someone with Gnome experience - I've listened to the problems anonissimus has with his sound, and i suspect he doesn't have his sound setup properly for audio capture. [22:23] BarkingFish: the guys in #ALSA might be able to help [22:23] Unfortunately, since I'm not a gnomer, I have no idea how to set the sound up and do all the volume levels and so on, so if someone would be kind enough to take anonissimus through sound setup, switching on his capture and stuff, that'd be great. [22:23] haha anonissimus [22:24] don't have terminal but would like to remote desktop into a machine running windows [22:24] so there's no way I can get MOTD working again? [22:24] conntrack-, that's not particularly helpful. If you've nothing to say that can assist, kindly take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. [22:24] it used to work? [22:24] We help here, we don't laugh at people :) [22:24] Sorry the name is funny [22:24] I can't seem to disable touchpad [22:24] how can I do it [22:25] sup all [22:25] abjjdks832: I PMed some links [22:25] SIFTU: yea I see [22:26] NaikInsaan: I told you before.. use terminal server client [22:26] is there away to install windows realtek driver? [22:26] sean__, no [22:26] not even wine? [22:26] no [22:26] Gentoo64, how do u reinstall alsa? [22:26] abjjdks832: do you suspend your comp [22:26] sean__: look into ndiswrapper [22:26] SIFTU: no, never [22:27] sean__, what are you trying to run with the realtek driver? Internal or external wireless? [22:27] Is somebody available who can help me? I'm trying (and failing) to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive. [22:28] Is there any chance instability is related to encrypted home directory? [22:28] shouldnt be === Tectu is now known as Tectu|off [22:28] no no im tryin to install audio drivers.. because alsa is being dumb and i have to keep reconf hda analyzer [22:28] instability how? [22:28] sean__, in that case, Gentoo64 is spot on. [22:28] BarkingFish, whats the way to reinstall alsa then? [22:28] You can't use windows drivers to power linux audio devices, sorry sean__ [22:29] abjjdks832: to me it looks like that kernel and your wirelss driver.. are you running 2.6.38 like everyone else with w T60 and having that problem [22:29] hello guys [22:29] how can i use httrack to dl only the ww.site.com/target the file under taget DIR [22:29] I have no idea, unfortunately. But I'm sure someone in here will be able to tell you, sean__ - I had to ask myself a month back, and I've forgotten :) [22:29] $ uname -r [22:29] 2.6.38-11-generic [22:29] sean__, why do you need to? im not sure what command it is but its just a package [22:29] On the downloadpage 32bits-version is recommended ? Even for a Centrino CPU & 4 GB RAM ? [22:30] E3D3, it says that so noobs dont use 64 bit on a 32 cpu [22:30] Gentoo64, because the sound isnt working.. now AT all restarted and tryed to put my model in the alsa-base.conf and nothing is working [22:30] Gentoo64, so there for i want to reinstall alsa [22:30] E3D3: you'll save yourself headaches if you use 32bit [22:31] hello how can i use httrack to dl only the ww.site.com/target the file under taget DIR [22:31] sean__, doubt reinstalling alsa would help. no harm in trying though... if only i knew the command [22:31] I think linux has some workarounds to use > 4gB RAM in 32bit systems [22:31] yes pae [22:31] this is bogus [22:31] PAE [22:31] but 64 bit is better [22:31] ubuntu is wasting my time [22:31] ubuntu 32-bit uses PAE by default [22:31] "better" is highly subjective [22:31] Is somebody available who can help me? I'm trying (and failing) to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive. [22:31] it can use up to 64 GB of RAM [22:31] Gentoo64, well do u know a way to make the settings form hda-analyzer.diff start up on ubuntu? [22:31] 64 bit is the norm nowadays [22:31] HagopH: try unetbootin [22:31] abjjdks832: I would try the fix in this thread and see what it does https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688252 [22:32] HagopH: use unbootin [22:32] why use 32 on a 64 cpu [22:32] except if you had really low ram [22:32] Gentoo64, the .diff file is just settings i made for the codec... which is in proc/asound/cards/ [22:32] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 688252 in kernel "iwl3945-related kernel crash" [Unspecified,Closed: errata] [22:32] I did. [22:32] next version of ubuntu is improving 32-bit support [22:32] in 64-bit ubuntu [22:32] HagopH: try MultiSystem [22:32] brb [22:32] so whtas the error u gettin HagopH [22:32] emet, as in how? [22:32] multilib stuff? [22:32] I tried unetbootin-windows-555.exe, Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.6.4.exe, and live-usb-install-2.3.1.exe. [22:32] Gentoo64: some people do for things like flash support and just general lower memory usage [22:33] yea i suppose with v low ram [22:33] it makes sense [22:33] After using live-usb-install-2.3.1.exe to create bootable USB flash drive with ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso: [22:33] SYSLINUX 3.83 2009-10-05 CBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2009 H. Peter Anvin et al [22:33] Could not find kernel image: linux [22:33] flash has native 64 now properly updated (afaik) [22:33] HagopH: that's win stuff, you're in the wrong channel [22:33] Gentoo64: 64bit linux does have at least 10% higher memory footprint [22:33] last time I tried to get flash working on 64bit it was a nightmare [22:33] HagopH: do you point the unbootin to the iso image ? [22:33] I'm using Windows to create my Ubuntu installation USB flash drive. [22:34] abjjdks832, ah ive had flash working fine [22:34] Yes, I point unbootin to the ISO. [22:34] HagopH: no support for win stuff here [22:34] The flash drive I am trying to boot with *is* Ubuntu. [22:35] HagopH: the program is not ubuntu [22:35] HagopH, what format is the usb ext 3/4 ? [22:35] MonkeyDust: he's trying to install ubuntu..\ [22:35] HagopH, make sure it is fat 16/32 [22:35] emet: he's trying to use a win program to make a bootable drive [22:35] It is FAT32. [22:35] unetbootin is win and linux [22:35] no need to be harsh lol [22:35] I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint [22:35] bootable UBUNTU drive [22:35] lol [22:35] Gentoo64: yes, but he's using the .exe [22:36] so? its the same program === steve_vibes is now known as steve-vibes === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:36] Gentoo64: win != linux [22:36] How do I create a USB bootable Ubuntu disk if my only active system is Windows? [22:36] MonkeyDust, why you being an arse though? [22:36] HagopH: download and install unetbootin [22:36] I can get to the "boot: " prompt. [22:36] HagopH: I dunno you use unetbootin, you might need to format your usb stick first tho as fat32 [22:37] But Ubuntu stops there. [22:37] not helping him get ubuntu up and running, because hes running unetbootin on windows [22:37] Gentoo64: basically, he's asking how something works in win [22:37] Does kernel.org have any ftp or http mirrors where I can download any kernel from? I just need a kernel tarball in order to run memtest.sh [22:37] I AM NOT ASKING HOW SOMETHING WORKS IN WIN! [22:37] I have the USB formatted and booting to Ubuntu. [22:37] HagopH, it should auto format the drive [22:37] It just stops at the "boot: " prompt. [22:38] That's not Windows. [22:38] It *does* autoformat the drive. [22:38] HagopH, try another usb thing like pendrivelinux [22:38] unetbootin does work fine but the other one might work for you [22:38] HagopH: there is something wrong with the usb image then.. the bootloader cant find the kernel [22:38] HagopH, did you check the md5sum of the iso ? [22:38] Pendrivelinux tells me to use Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.6.4.exe, which I tried. [22:38] HagopH, same thing? [22:39] I lost my windows o/s after installing ubuntu 11.04, can someone help me recovering windows files [22:39] samhitha, did you format the win partition? [22:39] Yes. I've tried two different Ubuntu distributions: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso. [22:39] HagopH, Silly question, i know - but have you actually set up your BIOS to boot from USB? [22:39] no [22:39] samhitha, how did you lose the os then? [22:39] BarkingFish: its hitting the mbr [22:40] SIFTU, so it's picking up the USB boot record, but not going any further, right? [22:40] While installing ubuntu, I selected parallet o/s and allocated available partition [22:40] Yes, BarkingFish, I have. With no flash drive inserted in USB port: Boot FailureReboot and Select proper Boot deviceor Insert Boot Media in selected Boot devicePress any key when ready [22:40] how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have ? [22:40] BarkingFish: yes [22:40] Yes. [22:41] after the install it is directly landing to ubuntu [22:41] And that's not a silly question. Everything I'm reading suggests there are BIOS and FAT issues with this, but gives no solutions. [22:42] HagopH, have you not got a cd drive? [22:42] Not on the system I'm installing to. [22:42] No CD, no floppy. [22:42] No IDE drive. [22:42] Gentoo64, are u following me? [22:42] yggdrasil: lsb_release -a [22:42] samhitha, no sorry [22:42] Just one SATA. [22:42] samhitha, i dont know anything about the install alongside windows thing [22:42] thanks [22:42] apart from i wouldnt do that [22:43] hmm... [22:43] hi all [22:43] kk i just reinstalled alsa and now its says [22:43] aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found... [22:43] I'm not seeing any system startup scripts or can't see how syslinux is supposed to be called. [22:44] anyone know how i can reinstall my soundcard? [22:44] can someone help with recovering windows which I lost after installing ubuntu 11.04 [22:44] sean__: you wouldn't 'reinstall' your sound card, it doesn't work like that in linux [22:44] samhitha: 'lost'? can you access your windows partition from ubuntu? [22:44] no [22:45] abjjdks832, so what would u do cause it says that theres no sound card [22:45] sean__: lspci.. anything in there look like a sound card? have you had working sound before? [22:45] samhitha, if the partition is somehow gone youll need a lot of luck recovering it lol [22:45] samhitha: in disk utility can you see the partition? [22:45] hirens [22:46] SIFTU: I have redhat link open, going to look at that now. do you think it's possible that this wireless thing locking system would happen only under high load? or be more likely to happen under high load? === adamsaxe is now known as boolio [22:46] yes, I can see the partition [22:46] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) [22:46] abjjdks832: no idea [22:46] samhitha, ubuntu should autodetect it [22:46] not sure why it isnt [22:46] dammit this is annoying [22:46] but when i do aplay -l it says no soundcards found [22:47] hi, is it better to install xubuntu in a 2gb ram netbook? [22:47] Is somebody available who can help me? I'm trying (and failing) to create a bootable Ubuntu USB flash drive. [22:47] is there any thing I need to do if ubuntu is not auto-decting [22:47] grojas, theyll all work ok with 2gb ram [22:47] detectin* [22:47] thanks [22:48] hagoph u using windows to create the flash drive? [22:48] HagopH, Can you tell me what OS you're using right now, just so I can drag up some decent instructions? [22:48] samhitha: it may be grub? you can try adding to /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:48] Yes. [22:48] grojas, xubuntu would feel faster though [22:48] I know it's windows, but which flavour? [22:48] I'm using Win XP to create the flash drive. [22:48] ok, one sec [22:48] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [22:48] Home Edition 2002 to be precise. [22:48] sunice, can I have instruction for that please [22:49] I have downloaded both ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso. [22:49] hagoph in that link you can see instructions to make the flash drive [22:49] just buy a live ubuntu flash drive online for a couple bux [22:49] and you said you'd tried the UUI at pendrivelinux.com, right, HagopH? [22:49] yes Gentoo thats why i'm asking, i'm feeling the unity desktop a bit slow in the netbook [22:50] grojas, yes xubuntu will be faster [22:50] samhitha: http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/editing-bootgrubmenulst-to-change-the-grub-boot-menu/ [22:50] grojas, unity 11.04 is about as slow as a distro gets [22:50] Yes, I have tried UUI at pendrivelinux, as well as live-usb-install-2.3.1.exe and unetbootin-windows-555.exe. [22:50] samhitha: give that a look over. Maybe not precise but may help you along the way. [22:50] hagoph where are you stuck? [22:51] Hi how can i change my color depth manually without doing changes in the xorg.xconf [22:51] where can i get help with installing the game Ryzom (from the software center)? [22:51] let me try [22:51] SIFTU: ok .. I tam talking with a friend, he says with ath9k under high load his system would freeze .. [22:51] ok... i guess i'm going to install xubuntu [22:51] ok, thanks. I'll see what else I can suck off the net for you HagopH :) Be patient, we *will* fix this if it kills me, and it may :D [22:51] I appreciate the effort, Barking. [22:51] I'm trying to create an image fo a 1TB drive. dd started off fast at 32M/s but has gotten progressively slower and is now at 950K/s. what do I do? [22:52] HagopH, if you're following the instructions and its not working. maybe try unetbootin from a licecd like partedmagic [22:52] The problem seems to *me* to be a missing or improperly named startup script. [22:52] livecd* [22:52] is there a sane way to change fonts in my unity desktop? or more importantly, the rendering (like I used to do it with gnome-appereance-properties before) [22:52] i'm a loosing much by changing unity to xubuntu? [22:53] I don't know how to try unetbootin from a livecd like partedmagic. [22:53] grojas, no nothing at all. you're gaining [22:53] ok thanks [22:53] grojas, there will be a few different apps [22:53] grojas: you're losing a lot of time that you would normally spend waiting for your computer to work :P [22:54] grojas, i put xubuntu on my family comp downstairs it looks nice [22:54] samhitha: Before I forget to mention. have live cd in case you screw up grub. It's possible it won't boot at all if you make a mistake. [22:55] hhmm how do i replace unity with xubuntu? [22:55] sunice, I am not finding menu.ls file at all under /boot/frub [22:55] grojas, i thought you were doing a clean install... its the best way [22:55] /boot/grub [22:55] HagopH, have you used diskpart to confirm that the partition is actually active? [22:55] Hello all. I'm trying to install a dual boot of XP micro and ubuntu with ubuntu already installed. I've already read that the xp MBR will overwrite grub but that can be undone, however I have a separate /boot partition, what kind of outcome can I expect to see and will this make it easier to restore grub? [22:55] SIFTU: I am going to try to crash system now :-S [22:56] BarkingFish, I tried to partition the USB flash drive but was unable to do so. [22:56] sunice, I am using 11.04 version [22:56] HagopH, did it deny you access to it? [22:57] hhmm well i installed ubuntu from a live usb with 11.04 ubuntu and never asked about using unity or xubuntu lol [22:57] I'm on ubuntu 9.10 server and I'm wondering how I can upgrade my vim 7.2 to vim 7.3? [22:57] i think [22:57] grojas, its a different download [22:57] maybe a just forgot that it asked lol [22:57] diskpart is supposed to be executed as "Run as administrator", otherwise it won't work. [22:57] aghhh [22:57] grojas, plain "ubuntu" is the unity one [22:57] that sucks lol [22:57] sup my niggas [22:57] when is firefox 7 coming to the repos? [22:57] BarkingFish, I didn't use diskpart. I assume that's an Ubuntu program? [22:57] abjjdks832: good luck [22:57] no, it's a windows program [22:57] !language | katsrc [22:57] katsrc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:58] hello [22:58] But when I formatted the USB in Windows, I wasn't given any option to format it smaller than its full size or in FAT16. [22:58] i thought xubuntu was just a windows managerfo ubuntu [22:58] samhitha: sorry distracted forgot they changed in grub2. try running "update-grub2" [22:59] grojas, it uses xfce, ubuntu uses gnome / unity [22:59] if this fixes it I might take back all the nasty things I have said about ubuntu and mark shuttleworth [22:59] grojas, just dl the xubuntu iso [22:59] I'm bringing up diskpart now. [22:59] but if this is the source of my freezes, then this workaround / fix needs to be default, or user needs to be warned by that driver tool thinige [22:59] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [22:59] will that work? [23:00] abjjdks832: i would guess its fixed in later kernels [23:00] grojas, yes. but id recomend a clean install if possible. that way you wont have all the cruft and folders left behind from gnome etc [23:00] and its easier [23:00] what's the reason for clean install ? just ... purge all the craps, and remove .gnome or .gconf or whatever else in homedir [23:01] sunice, I did that but still not able to find menu.ls file [23:01] n550 atom is still x86 right? [23:01] When I list the disks in diskpart, it shows only the HDD on this system, not the USB disk. [23:01] abjjdks832, yes you can do, but if ubuntu is a clean install anyway.. if it was me id just install from xubuntu livecd [23:01] HagopH, OK, I'm gonna help you sort this. Here's what I want you to do: Insert the USB stick, and open your start menu. Click run, and type compmgmt.msc [23:01] depends if you care or not. id do it for peace of mind [23:01] Hello all. I'm trying to install a dual boot of XP micro and ubuntu with ubuntu already installed. I've already read that the xp MBR will overwrite grub but that can be undone, however I have a separate /boot partition, what kind of outcome can I expect to see and will this make it easier to restore grub? [23:01] samhitha: yeah they got rid of it. That attempts to find you other partitions. [23:02] When the onscreen diskmanager pops up, tell me if you see your USB stick. [23:02] Is the Hp Deskjet 3052a E-all-in-one Printer compatible on Ubuntu 11.04 via hplip? It does not appear to be in their list of supported devices: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/deskjet_aio.html. [23:02] Gentoo, for netbook i need the x86 version right/ [23:02] ? [23:02] RatBattle: the MBR is written to disk, not partition. Otherwise I'm not clear on your question. [23:02] Yes, I do. [23:02] grojas, idk about netbooks. but to be safe yes [23:02] ok [23:03] excellent HagopH [23:03] It reads Healthy (Active). [23:03] right, does it say How much space is left on the disk? [23:03] Want me to delete the partition? [23:03] samhitha: also found this may help. It's still very possible that the partition is toast. but take a look http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ [23:03] no, no. Not yet anyhow, HagopH :) [23:03] There's no space left on the disk. The partition takes up the entire disk. [23:04] i want you to right click the partition, and select Properties [23:04] Okay. Did it. [23:04] duh one hour for download :) [23:04] its only an hour :) [23:05] Right, HagopH - can you click on the Tools tab, and select Error checking please. [23:05] I downloaded the linux2.6.32 and the corresponding diff yet patch is reporting heaps of fialed hunks, I just want the ubuntu patched kernel source for 2.6.32 [23:05] I'm just trying to understand if the MBR is located in the /boot partition and if i need to use a different method from standard (one partition installation) in restoring grub as the boot loader after I install xp [23:05] Okay. Want me to select either of the options? [23:05] Hit the "Check now" button, HagopH - and see if it comes back with any errors [23:05] RatBattle, no the mbr is on the beginning of the disk not a partition [23:05] can someone recommend some nonsense to load my CPU? calculating primes or pi or such [23:05] Disk Check Complete. [23:05] No errors? Hm. [23:06] RatBattle, having a seperte /boot just means the ubuntu boot files are located on a partition rather than the root /boot bit [23:06] One moment, I've been pinged. Back in a sec, HagopH [23:06] abjjdks832: folding@home? [23:06] Jeruvy: I'm just trying to understand if the MBR is located in the /boot partition and if i need to use a different method from standard (one partition installation) in restoring grub as the boot loader after I install xp [23:06] abjjdks832: I always compile a kernel [23:06] SIFTU: that works! [23:06] abjjdks832, compile anything with make -j30 [23:06] RatBattle: no different method.. there is only 1 mbr per disk, same method to replace it [23:06] or something like that [23:07] abjjdks832: or you could do something useful to someone else with it [23:07] RatBattle: no, the MBR will point to your boot which should be grub for dualbooting. which will then select the appropriate boot loader. [23:07] If i use universal usb installer to install ubuntu onto my flash drive do i still need to do something else to format it? [23:07] linxeh: apt-cache search folding | grep home returns nothing [23:07] abjjdks832, if its just to test for a crash then f@h is a waste of time [23:08] its heavy [23:08] abjjdks832: right. fortunately the world of software extends beyond the ubuntu repositories [23:08] abjjdks832: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download [23:08] HagopH, - so the disk is marked active, the partition is good, there are no errors... Does the drive have a drive letter assigned to it? [23:08] Yes. F: [23:08] Jeruvy: awesome thanks. I've just read on tutorials that winxp overwrites the MBR when installed after linux causing my MBR to only point to XP [23:09] uh, someone refresh my memory, what are source packages named? I'm only seeing images and headers [23:09] RatBattle: thats right. [23:09] RatBattle, when you install xp it will overwrite it [23:09] RatBattle: yes, then you need to reinstall grub after the win install [23:09] abjjdks832: you have to add the source to apt sources [23:09] which can only be done with a live cd? Or can i do it through windows? [23:09] abjjdks832: ie deb-src lines [23:10] RatBattle: in the future if you are configuring a multi boot machine, it's usually best practice to install windows, then ubuntu. windows rather rudely will always overwrite your MBR [23:10] abjjdks832: they are the headers [23:10] HagopH, Looking at my notes, something may actually be wrong. When a disk is bootable, the disk management area should show Healthy (Active, Boot) or simply Healthy (Boot) [23:10] linux-source-2.6.38 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.38 with Ubuntu patches [23:10] found it :P [23:10] yes so i have learned. -__- thanks for the info all [23:11] RatBattle: Windows won't fix it. You'll need something like Grub rescue disk or something that boots with grub installed. Ubuntu livecd's don't come with grub installed (you can install it first but ..) [23:11] it drives me mad when software does things without permission. windows apps autoloading without asking first for example [23:11] Jeruvy: pretty sure grub and friends is on the livecd [23:12] abjjdks832: I'm pretty sure it doesn't [23:12] so the ubuntu livecd has no grub? [23:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [23:13] Jeruvy: pretty sure you're wrong :) [23:13] hey guys [23:13] hi [23:13] hows it going? [23:13] ok [23:14] hi [23:14] hey gundam [23:14] abjjdks832: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [23:14] most of the guides i am reading tell me to boot a live cd, open the grub prompt (sudo grub) then enter the commands '>root (hd0,0)' then '>setup (hd0)' then '>exit" [23:15] im pretty bored :/ [23:15] i just got this os. is it that good? [23:15] RatBattle: if grub is installed it will work, you can certainly try it out. [23:15] gundam, youll find out wont you? [23:15] !lts [23:15] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [23:16] hi, I've setup Ubuntu 11.04 on a VirtualBox vm [23:16] after that I installed aptitude and then gnome3-sessioin [23:16] whats broken? [23:16] gnome3-session [23:16] i was tired of windows. [23:16] Jeruvy: exactly [23:16] now I can't access the /home directy "permission denied" [23:16] gundam, youll forget about windows one day [23:16] nor can I run sudo [23:17] sunice, I found only linux partions with fdisk [23:17] xeviox, is it a clean install? [23:17] clean(ish)? [23:17] 10.4 net book ed. [23:17] may i ask what is ubuntu iv'e heard of it, but what does it do? [23:17] zero4311, its an operating system [23:17] or are you trying to troll [23:18] Gentoo64 yes [23:18] sunice, are u available on any other chat engine [23:18] xeviox, no idea why on a clean install. reinstall [23:18] zero4311: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic. [23:18] oh ok sorry [23:18] wow /home is even not printed with "ls -l" but it's there as "mkdir /home" throws "already exists" [23:18] zero4311: np :) [23:19] xeviox, ls -l /home/ [23:19] ? [23:19] is ubuntu good for gaming pc? [23:19] gundam, no [23:19] Gentoo64: no permission .. [23:19] its not like windows for games [23:19] xeviox, sounds buggered tbh [23:19] :( [23:19] depends on the games gundam [23:19] gundam: it's fine if you want to play 3+yr old games [23:20] sudo throws "unable to change to sudoers gid .." [23:20] if you want to do latest and greatest everything... better just suck it up and use windows [23:20] gundam, you can play games in wine watch youutube vids but its not anything like windows for just plug and play games [23:20] gundam: great for emulation though, just need emulators and a good usb joypad [23:20] zsnes ftw! [23:20] does gnome3 run in ubuntu 11.04 now? [23:20] xeviox, no [23:20] How can I install gnome3.2 in 11.04? [23:20] in general [23:20] I can't? [23:20] xeviox, gnome 3 breaks ubuntu apparently [23:21] ah shit [23:21] i would use another distro for gnome 3 atm [23:21] ok thax iater. [23:21] so thats what I run into :( [23:21] !gnome3 | xeviox / kbreit [23:21] xeviox / kbreit: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. [23:21] xeviox, yes. i completely forgot you mentioned you put that on lol [23:21] reinstall with no gnome 3 [23:21] youll live without it i think [23:21] gundam: theres also some great quake3 based games that still have quite a following such as tremulous, urban terror, and world of padman. I also recommend Savage (1 and 2) and Spiral Knights [23:22] why is the "gnome3-session" package available in the repos? [23:22] ut3 gta4 apb. [23:22] gundam: and Teeworlds [23:22] gundam, ut3 and gta4 youll nee dwine, and they work apparently/. go on the wine site and it shows you ratings for how well games run [23:23] like silver gold platinum etc [23:23] xeviox: you know Unity requires GNOME 3 [23:23] How effective are windows virtual machines when it comes to gaming? [23:23] alkafoo, 11.04 uses gnome 2 no? [23:23] RatBattle, bad [23:24] virtualized hardware = bad even with accel [23:24] i cant imagine how bad the mosue would be either [23:24] mouse* [23:24] hi again [23:24] Oh well. Thats why I'm installing a dual boot of Micro XP. Nice stripped down version for running games and netflix [23:24] Ubuntu now decided to print my MOTD, but prints out duplicate MOTDs [23:25] RatBattle, i used to do that years ago. then i stopped gaming :) [23:25] Gentoo64: no [23:25] alkafoo, really? i thought it was gnome 2 my bad [23:25] Gentoo64: PSO bb is still alive and kicking for free and I've always wanted to try counter strike since I hear its free [23:25] just saying [23:26] PSO bb? [23:26] phantasy start online: blue burst [23:26] *star [23:26] now that's a name... [23:26] my favorite hack n slash rpg of all time [23:26] not nice if a "aptitude install gnome3-shell" breaks your hole system :( [23:27] i dont see why you dwant to though [23:27] just want to try .. [23:29] xeviox: use a distro with it default.. or the gnome 3 livecd [23:29] alright, compiling kernel and playing a video ... [23:29] abjjdks832, and then it freezes :) [23:29] SIFTU: jup, thanks [23:33] still here ... so far .. did -j30 too, whatever that is :P I'm guessing search for moar optimizations === e is now known as Guest62779 [23:34] abjjdks832: 30 threads [23:34] xeviox: 11.10 comes in two weeks. [23:34] abjjdks832, j30 just maxes your cpu [23:35] qin: will it have gnome3 support? [23:35] hi i have a problem with my ubuntu when i boot i have grub prompt [23:35] odd... system was extremly unresponsive... but now it's somewhat responsive [23:35] yea, cpu is pegged [23:35] So is 11.10 going to include kernel 3.0 and gnome 3? [23:35] someone just said 11.04 used gnome 3 :s [23:36] hello [23:36] im confused [23:36] someone can help me to install the ati drivers on ubuntu 11.04? [23:36] qH, are they not under the additional drivers bit? [23:36] abjjdks832: usually you set the number of threads to the number of cores you have plus 1 [23:37] sorry but how to fix my grub form the grub prompt [23:37] if that is usual practice .. is that default in the makefile? [23:37] abjjdks832, no its j1 or j2 [23:37] not everything accept > j1 [23:37] for safeness [23:38] abjjdks832: I dont run ubuntu so mine is custom [23:38] SIFTU: what do you use? [23:38] abjjdks832, but if you have dual core general rule is j4, quad is j5 etc [23:38] SIFTU: btw, best friend status conferred. until I have another hard freeze at least [23:38] abjjdks832, j3 * [23:38] anyone here knows how to fix usb drive thats half installed with ubuntu and corrupted? [23:39] dev_: reformat, start over [23:39] gives error [23:39] anyone know why I am getting this error? /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh [23:39] like its write protected [23:39] sounds like its broke [23:39] what are the best drivers, for computers with an ATI card? [23:39] flash memory sets itself readonly when there are no more writable blocks [23:39] abjjdks832: lol, dont hold your breath, those things are hard to track down. I did find 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 unusually bad kernels [23:39] qH: the ones from AMD if it's a new card [23:40] its 4gb drive, but only 3.10gb is used [23:40] 19:40:20 up 2:03, 8 users, load average: 31.82, 29.18, 18.10 [23:40] dev_, try formatting it from gparted livecd or dont it allow you to? [23:40] how did it get coreupted [23:40] abjjdks832: dual core? [23:40] is it a problem to switch from the ubuntu 11.10 beta to the release if it's out? [23:41] i have tried few putting 11.04 beta few months back but got buggy half way trough so i had to stop before it was done [23:41] yes. T7200 [23:41] 2.0ghz 4mb l2 [23:41] nope [23:41] xeviox: you can upgeade yes. [23:41] C2D [23:41] dr_willis: ok thanks [23:41] i can try from live cd, but dont see why would be diffrent from normal gpparted [23:41] abjjdks832, lol @ load average [23:41] abjjdks832: yeah your load look like dual core [23:42] anyone knows how to format usb real good? instead just telling me to format? [23:42] abjjdks832: my ati card is mobility radeon hd 4650 [23:42] dev_, download a partedmagic iso it has all the tools you need [23:42] qH, use the fglrx or whatever the prop drivers called [23:42] dev_, format fat32 should do [23:43] dev_: this is a usb flash drive younean [23:43] yeah [23:43] 1st time i hear about it [23:43] let me try [23:43] mean [23:43] you may need to use dd to zero rhe drive then repartition [23:43] desktop was really slow.. it's responsive enough now though. still high load. I hope this workaround has fixed my crash problems :| [23:44] dr_willis: ? [23:44] abjjdks832, the only way youll tell is normal real usage [23:44] the freezes usually happen under load though [23:44] hey, how do I erase a CD-RW in ubuntu? [23:45] can I do it from the file manager [23:45] ? [23:45] this is 11.10 beta 2 [23:45] alkafoo: ? [23:45] abjjdks832: yep, time will tell [23:45] skutr34, you could use cdrecord [23:46] parted magic is 170mb [23:46] can anyone tell me what it does 1st? [23:46] how can i make kde apps use their oxygen style when running gnome, instead of trying to adjust to my gnome style? [23:46] i kinda dont have fast net [23:46] Gentoo64: oksay [23:46] dev_, it has a load of useful tools involving drives [23:46] okay* [23:46] dev_, gparted, clonezilla, recovery tools, pretty much every tool [23:47] dev_, you dont need it. just saying its a good one to have handy [23:47] Gentoo64, would I get this from Ubuntu Software Centre? [23:47] :( [23:47] skutr34, should already be built in [23:47] its a mini live cd with gparted and a few ither tools dev_ [23:47] skutr34, try man cdrecord and see [23:48] i dont need live linux, i want to delte half installed ubuntu from my usb [23:48] is there a way to get a list of all installed packages and their version numbers? [23:48] dev_: just format the drive [23:48] manizzle: dpkg -l [23:48] doesnt work [23:48] write protected [23:49] dev_: just remove the partitions with fdisk [23:49] write protected getting some erorr [23:49] dunno 22 or 18 [23:49] Gentoo64: No manual entry for cdrecord. [23:49] abjjdks832, how do i install packages in ubuntu if i know i specific version of a package and the package name> [23:49] dev_: dd. fdisk. and or gparted as needed [23:49] dev_: udev is probably getting in the way [23:49] skutr34, ah ok. not sure what the package would be called in ubuntu try installing cdrecord [23:49] s/i/the/ [23:49] hi, i just upgraded my dell latitude d630 to 8 gig of ram and installed the pae kernel. Is there anything else I should do to optimize the OS, Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit? [23:50] mia158, i thought pae only allowed 4gb [23:50] manizzle: why do you want a specific version instead of the latest version? [23:50] free -m shows all 8 [23:50] udev? [23:50] mia158, my bad [23:50] Hey guys ... i am using 10.04 here ... how can i install some package from later versions ?! [23:50] cobra-the-joker, add ppa [23:50] even though i get moaned at for saying that [23:50] because i am building a system for which i want reliability of "worked" packages over the most recent packages [23:50] dev_: yes, man udev if you dont know what it is [23:50] Gentoo64: how is that ? [23:51] abjjdks832, ^^^ [23:51] actually, is there a way to copy all installed packages' dpkgs to a directory? [23:51] cobra-the-joker: not a good idea to mix releases. [23:51] that way i can just dpkg -i for all in that dir [23:51] Gentoo64: sudo apt-get install cdrecord produces the output: Note, selecting 'wodim' instead of 'cdrecord' [23:51] manizzle: what are you wanting to do exactly [23:51] should I do anything to swp? [23:51] manizzle: /var/cache/apt/ has cache of packages [23:52] dr_willis , its just the new light-themes package [23:52] Gentoo64: I searched for wodim and it isn't on here either [23:52] every installed package? [23:52] skutr34, i use a program called cdw, try to find that [23:52] skutr34, its ncurses [23:52] i just want to be able to emulate my system exactly, no changes [23:52] ok gonna try that [23:52] in installed packages wise [23:52] how / where? what is larger purpose? [23:52] mia158, no leave swap [23:52] I would just make a list of installed packages, then install them on other system [23:53] Gentoo64: ncurses, or cdw? [23:53] mia158, with 8gb ram you probably wont even need swap [23:53] skutr34, cdw. its an ncurses program [23:53] mia158: you could play with swappiness [23:53] How would I run a process so that it will continue even after closing the shell (terminal or ssh connection)? [23:53] yeah sure, abjjdks832, i make list with dpkg -i. then how do i install the same version package on another machine [23:53] mia158, set swappiness to 0 (vm.swappiness 0) in sysctl [23:53] Xeneth: foo & disown [23:53] Xeneth: run it in "SCREEN" or nohup it [23:53] Xeneth: or run it in a screen [23:53] yea, nohup will work for most thing stoo, and it's more shell independent [23:54] Gentoo64: oh, another thing; could you help me with my propreitary drivers installation? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [23:54] Copy the apt cache did manizzle [23:54] thanks, I'll research that [23:54] skutr34, maybe. what is it? graphics [23:54] ? [23:55] ok, I have a torrent going now as well ... [23:55] Dpkg -i * can be bad. Use with care [23:55] fglrx drivers are the best for the ATI Radeon HD 4650? [23:55] yes [23:55] for speed [23:55] only old ati card benefit from the os drivers [23:55] Gentoo64: yes. I checked the log and what appears to be happening is that it is trying to install an nvidia driver when my g card is ati [23:55] Gentoo64: I can't be sure though [23:56] skutr34, ah ok. is the driver installed? [23:56] h [23:56] gg [23:56] fin [23:56] [ [23:56] insdtall [23:56] whats the best firewall for ubuntu? [23:56] Gentoo64: no [23:56] install [23:56] helio_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:56] it's currently set to 10...shoiuld be okay, eh? [23:56] k1llaByte, ufw is built in [23:56] iptables [23:57] Gentoo64: give me a a second to produce the error [23:57] SIFTU, abjjdks832: Do I have to have a script, or can it be a normal process line an auto running program? Good example, apt-get install. [23:57] k1llaByte, use ufw if you dont know what youre doing [23:57] sets good defaults [23:57] kool [23:57] Xeneth: I presume you are running as root then [23:57] k1llaByte: for most use cases it's not really needed. are you behind a router? [23:57] because i dont know im a noob to linux [23:58] Xeneth: nohup apt-get install .. & [23:58] yes [23:58] k1llaByte, to allow a port just ufw allow port [23:58] why do you feel you need a firewall? [23:58] you need ufw enable first [23:58] abjjdks832, theres no harm, at all, in enabling and using it [23:58] SIFTU, So just nohup before any command, even sudo? [23:58] Gentoo64: is cdw a command line app or something? [23:58] skutr34, yes [23:58] there's no need, at all, to use it [23:58] ncurses [23:58] Xeneth: well sudo will ask for a password [23:58] it's enabled and the only thing i have allowed is torrents [23:58] Xeneth: better to use screen [23:59] paranois i guess [23:59] qH, try it in classic mode [23:59] I'm curious, where are all the 'for purchase' apps i'm supposed to see in the Software Centre? are they in an unenabled repo? [23:59] SIFTU, so what if I sudo su before the nohup? [23:59] paranoid* [23:59] k1llaByte, youll need to learn stuff first [23:59] Gentoo64: okay, how do I unmount my drive? [23:59] Xeneth: thats fine [23:59] skutr34, umount [23:59] k1llaByte: you're already behind a hardware fireall, you won't need a software one
